| Extra Information
|
A miniature tract describing a simple method of composing: simply take an existing composition, write a new melody to its bass, then write a new bass part to the new melody (or vice-versa). As an example, Kirnberger prints a gigue by J.S. Bach, and his own composition following this method.
