Note: the Exploring Theory textbook with movies is a large file (40MB) we've made it a separate and optional item in the program installer for that reason. Most examples are brief but several are much more extensive than the examples in the printed book - for example, the illustration for Sonata form is the entire first movement of Mozart's 29th Symphony, in which you watch the 1st violin part and read scrolling comments on the form as the music plays. What's most impressive about the digital textbook? The music examples are "live!" Each music example in the digital book is now a QuickTime movie - click and you'll see it come to life and play (Windows users can download Apple's QuickTime free). Pages are laid out just as they are in the print version of the book (available separately).
