[Smt-talk] "Core syntax" and 6/4 chords etc.

[Leslie Kinton]

I think the fourth finger of my left hand twitched when I wrote the salutation; what I meant to write was "et al." not "et als.".  Sorry about that!

  In answer to Ildar Khannanov (et als.):

  The Schenkerian concept of "composing out" is where a DIATONIC TRIAD designated by a ROMAN NUMERAL is prolonged in time by chords which are created contrapuntally rather than generated harmonically, as opposed to actual scale steps (i.e., those chords being composed out) which ARE harmonic in origin.  Step progression is a fundamental concept in Schenkerian theory, and I-IV-V-I is considered to be a basic step progression; the main difference is that IV is considered to be a bridge between I and V (an intermediate harmony), rather than a primary triad itself.  None of this denies the concept of harmonic progression; in fact, Schenker's theory of "composing out" depends on it.
