Thanks for the suggestions. I've had a look at the site that Mark posted - I think I know most of the stuff from the lessons there but I will nonetheless recapitulate it...

Hey guys! I'm new here, so I figured a short introduction would be appropriate: I'm in my late twenties, have studied guitar for ten years but more or less switched totally to piano, which I play for almost 3 years now. On guitar I always had the wish to write my own pieces, but somehow what I came up with never satisfied me - maybe that was one reason for giving up my guitar studies, but I'm not totally sure. After learning piano for some time now I want to try to compose some things myself - and that's why I'm here... Now to my question: I remember my piano teacher once told me about books that teach how to compose in the style of a certain composer - as 'In the Style of Bach' or something like that. Unfortunately he couldn't remember something specific as the author or the exact title and my research at amazon didn't succeed. Does anyone know of books of this type? Best wishes, Frank ak.a. FoN
