Harmony• Consonance & Dissonance
– A relationship between two notes (interval) is either stable or unstable
– Unstable (dissonant) intervals resolve to stable (consonant) intervals

Key
• Tonal:– Called “functional”– Every chord has a function: going back to the
Tonal Center– Can be Major or minor scale
• Atonal– Chromatic, no tonal scale
Music history is all about moving from functional tonality towards Atonality!

Form
• The shape and structure of a piece of music
• Most music is divided into sections– New sections defined by harmony and/or
melody– Older musical ideas return often– Some large pieces are broken into
movements, which are also broken into sections
