THE NATURE OF MUSIC 



the operation of the ejBSeient accent as it generates and 

 reports the regnant harmony and determines which 

 of the two tones is regnant and which is a bytone. 

 The general result will be as follows: The tone that 

 falls on the light and short accent is the bytone and 

 component of the byharmony, while the tone that 

 falls on the heavy and long accent (efficient accent) 

 is the regnant tone reporting the regnant harmony 

 of which it is a component. I first present the
