A book like Harmonielehre by Arnold Schoenberg has become one of the classics for decades, focusing on tonal harmony and, in particular, on the thinking of this great composer. There are numerous translations into other languages, which only reinforces its importance. Of all these translations, the first one attempted was probably by the Brazilian composer Alberto Nepomuceno, who in 1916, just five years after the first edition of Harmonielehre, began a translation of this book. Unfortunately, Nepomuceno's translation was left incomplete. After decades of waiting, we now have the translation of Harmonielehre by Marden Maluf.
