Scope and content

Describes problem of harmony in current music theory: all chords are seen as equal, which leads analyses to be "random successions of symbols." The solution to this problem is to differentiate between structural harmonies (with the "full function of a harmonic degree") and elaborating harmonies (e.g., passing, neighbor).
