An interactive music-textbook project that lets readers study Fux’s Counterpoint while hearing its musical examples.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-13 issue.

Field notes

The project offers three textual routes through Fux’s Counterpoint—Simplified English, faithful English translation, and Latin—then places playable examples beside rendered notation and scans of the printed source. Visitors can slow the examples down to hear how the parts fit together, while a request form gathers titles for possible future conversions. The creator connects the project to an earlier companion app for Analyzing Classical Form, built with William Caplin’s permission.
