. A system of harmony : founded on key relationship, by means of which a thorough knowledge of the rules that govern the combinations and successions of sounds may be easily acquired with or without a teacher . A Chord always bears a relation to the Chord that follows it differ-ing from that it bears to the Chord that precedes it (unless the same chordprecedes and follows). This relationship may or may not make a modulation. 1. The chord A, C, E, enters as Tonic, and is followed by Sub-dominant chord, — all three in A minor 2. A, C, E, enters as Tonic, but is Subdominant to the following chord

Common chords have been treated at great length and with especial fullness, because athorough familiarity with them and their progressions is by far the most important part of harmony. The dissonant chords that follow will be found easy if the common chords have beenthoroughly mastered.
