Summary/Abstract: The problems in tonality and tonal composition are not tied to harmony or counterpoint but are the result of their combination. In the more elaborate compositions, harmony and counterpoint have very well-defined functions, thus resulting in a set of clear basic principles in composition development. One of these principles consists in the idea that harmonic progressions are the structure of the composition and the contrapuntal progressions and chords are the ones that enrich and create the flow of it.
