[Smt-talk] Frantonality

[Thomas Noll]

Dear Michael,
many thanks, this is a plausible explanation. I somewhat suspect that  
there might be some extra clue to the special status of this piece in  
Garner's repertoire. It is a homage to old-fashioned  Harlem stride  
piano (based on a simple repeating   i #viø  V/V V  "turn around" in  
minor). But perhaps I'm misinterpreting the presence of the suffix  
"tonality" here.
best wishes
Thomas
