- Assertion
- Harmonic function is specific to certain styles, sometimes called the common practice (roughly eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European concert music), and to later music that draws on its harmonic practice. Yust describes it as a tool that evolved in eighteenth-century Europe to make long-form dramatic instrumental music possible.
- Quote
Harmonic function is therefore peculiar to certain styles of music, what is sometimes called music of the “common practice” (roughly eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European concert music) and later music that draws upon its harmonic practice. It is a tool that evolved in eighteenth-century Europe to make long-form dramatic instrumental music possible.
