THE NATURE OF MUSIC 



Sol is the bond-tone connecting the cadence and

Just as the major dissonance arose in relation to the

 or repose-tones of the two consonances. Of the four 

 in major all are diatonics and had their genesis in 

 relation to the major consonance. Of the four in 

 minor three are previously existing diatonics in trans- 

 muted relations while one {si, the chromatic) is a 

 newly derived tone the genesis of which we have just 

 explained. The four in minor directly imitate the
