[Menvi-discuss] post-tonal theory/braille music?

[BRLGRL]

Hi, Dave.
Part Six of Tonal Harmony gives an introduction to twentieth-century 
music; Appendix C has a Set Class list. It's available as a download 
through Web-Braille. It isn't much, but I hope it provides a starting 
place for you to get a jump on preparing for your class.
Best,
Dani
