Discover how music builds tones over time to reveal the hidden logic of melody and harmony.
This edition delves into the successive aspect of tonality, expanding the study from static chords to the unfolding relationship of tones as they occur in sequence. It explains how pitch space can be understood as a reactive system, with concepts like phonality, the tonal matrix, and scale forms shaping what we hear in music practice.
- Grasp the idea of scale, intervals, and the role of phase in progression
- Explore the distinction between chromes, fluents, and liminants in scales
- See how the tonal matrix and secondary axes guide harmony and melody
- Learn how extension, development, and passages affect musical structure
Ideal for readers curious about the deeper theory behind melody, rhythm, and tuning, and for musicians seeking a framework for thinking about time-based tonal relationships.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings together musical theory and the science of acoustics in order to better understand tonality as it manifests both simultaneously and successively in musical practice. The author's approach bridges the gap between abstract acoustic conditions and the way music is experienced and produced in the real world, examining principles that can be applied to music across all historical periods and styles. Divided into three parts, this foundational volume opens by clarifying basic terminology, and progresses through detailed discussion of both simultaneous and successive tonality. Drawing from a wide range of examples and presenting a new way of thinking about the subject, this book is essential reading for any musician or musicologist seeking to deepen their understanding of the theoretical intricacies of music and tonality.
