Earlier theorists tended to view the voice-leading canon as a set of fixed or inviolable universals. More recently, theorists have suggested that the voice-leading canon can be usefully regarded as descriptive of a particular, historically encapsulated, musical convention. A number of twentieth-century theorists have endeavored to build harmonic and structural theories on the foundation of voice-leading.
