Binding heavily worn, with only very small remnants of dark brown mottled calf, spine lacking, endpapers faded and slightly stained. Minor wear; uniform light browning; occasional light foxing; small hole to blank inner margins of several leaves; stub of blank preliminary leaf preceding title. An attractive, wide-margined copy internally, despite defects. Together with: "Observations de M. Rameau, sur son Ouvrage intitulé, Origine des Sciences." 2 pp. of a bifolium laid in. Browned; edges ragged. "In Rameau's later writings, beginning with his manuscript L'art de la basse fondamentale from the early 1740s (published as Gianotti, F1759) and particularly in the Code de musique pratique, his last and most comprehensive composition treatise (1760), Rameau loosened the rigorously deductive structuring of his theory. He allowed greater flexibility in the rules governing the fundamental bass (to produce, for example, various kinds of chromatic and enharmonic progressions). Of special note was his increasing willingness to explain chords of supposition as products of melodic suspension and his acceptance of equal temperament as a necessity demanded by reason and taste."
