style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US" lang=EN-US>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.</SPAN><SPAN
