Sets out the fundamental laws of melody and harmony, and sketches the development of tonality between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries. The author focuses on the years 1770-1910, treating the Western music of this period - folk, popular, and classical - as a single, organically developing, and interconnected unit.
