>Is Piston's Harmony a good choice?
No.
(I mean, it depends on what you're comparing it to. Piston is a great choice compared to Kotska and Paine ...)
>Russian romantic composers like Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff
Didn't Tchaikovsky write a harmony book? I think Rimsky-Korsakov did, too.
But look. Here's what you need to do, above all: read scores. If Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff are your heroes, look at their works. See what it is they do, with your own eyes (just as you hear it with your own ears -- let these even blend synaesthetically together, perhaps in a way that would please another Russian Romantic: Scriabin!).
