Pamiętnik do nauki harmonii (1871) by Stanisław Moniuszko: A Forgotten 19th-Century Method of Teaching Harmony

Summary/Abstract: This article contains a reconstruction of the harmony teaching method developed and used by Stanisław Moniuszko. The subject of the analysis is the content of Pamiętnik do nauki harmonii [“A Diary for Learning Harmony”] (Warsaw, 1871), his only published handbook which has not yet been thoroughly investigated. The result of this research, taking into account both unknown and ignored contexts, is the reconstruction of the most important assumptions of this method and the indication of those elements that were the composer's own original ideas.
