Lemoine Chepelov P./ Menut B. - La Dictee En Musique Vol.2 - Corrige

Summary of This Method

Musical dictation remains an essential pillar of a musician's ear training: it teaches how to hear, understand, and accurately reproduce music. This collection by Pierre Chépélov and Benoît Menut stands out for its demanding and progressive approach, focused on developing listening skills in all their dimensions, beyond simply passing an exam. The goal is clear: to refine the perception of sound parameters and achieve genuine listening pleasure, both in concert and at home.

The book is structured into six chapters, each offering a specific progression. The work on rhythm addresses mono- and polyrhythmic dictations; melody explores monodic and polymelodic dictations with an emphasis on the articulation of the musical phrase. The harmony chapter develops vertical interval listening, recognition of chords as colors (figured bass), and the functional logic of the tonal system. Timbres invite identification of instrumental colors from reductions or orchestral scores, then mixtures bring together these skills modeled on dictations with missing parts. Finally, error detection trains the inner ear: comparing what is written to a flawlessly played version, an essential reflex for the performer.

Thanks to the provided CD, the student can revisit the dictations, consolidate their solfège, sing, memorize, and play on their instrument to connect the written score to individual and collective musical practice. This support is particularly relevant for choristers, instrumentalists, conductors, conservatory or musicology students, as well as any musician wishing to strengthen their listening and sight-reading skills.
