Abstract
In the forthcoming volume of my Kontrapunkt (Neue musikalische Theorien und Phantasien, II3), in which I prove that free composition is essentially a continuation of strict counterpoint, I touch upon a fundamental phenomenon of tonal life in the section on elaboration [Auskomponierung], a phenomenon that I have termed Urlinie. As the term already indicates, the Urlinie is an archetypal situation, an archetypal succession of tones.
