Summary of This Method
A true fundamental in the study of harmony, especially for the Baroque repertoire, 380 Basses Et Chants Donnés by Henri Challan was designed as an essential aid to understand and practice figured bass. The realization of the figured bass (or basso continuo) requires quick reading of figures, knowledge of chords, and voice-leading logic: this method places the student at the heart of these skills through exercise.
The result of extensive teaching experience, this compilation (created in 1960) offers a solid and structured framework to develop writing reflexes. The first volume gathers 90 exercises allowing the student to practice the basics of realization: choice of inversions, progressions, cadences, and understanding of harmonic functions from a figured bass line. Whether you are in a conservatory curriculum, a harmony class, or supervised self-study, this method stands as a reliable support to progress with rigor and musicality.
