Abstract

From triad and passing stem all the phenomena of tonal life: the triad can become a harmonic degree; the passing tone can be modified to become a neighbor note, accented passing tone, anticipation, a dissonant syncopation, and the seventh of a seventh chord. There are no laws other than consonance and dissonance, nor are there any other fundamental derivations. Dissonance must be understood as purely contingent on consonance and thus the consonance of Nature alone must be understood as the ultimate ground of all artistic possibilities in music and acknowledged at the same time as the ultimate goal of all that strives in passing.
