Could somebody tell, step by step, what is the most effective way to study a score, if my goal is to copy a composerscomposer's "language" as an exercise: to create a similar piece and to learn from the process?
Should I start by figuring out the harmonies? How about the form?
I ask this because I know that writing in the style of a given composer is a common exercise, but I don't know how to actually do it.
