Atonality is the musical system that lacks all relation of the tones of a work with a fundamental tone and all the harmonic and functional ties in its melody and chords, without being subject to the rules of tonality.
Atonality
Classical music
Classical music (also called academic music) is the musical current that is based mainly on music produced or derived from the traditions of liturgical and secular music of the West, mainly Western Europe, and that has a fundamentally written transmission reference , which gives it a rigorous meaning and character for its reproduction or interpretation.
Music notation
Music notation is a writing system used to graphically represent a piece of music, allowing a performer to perform it in the manner desired by the composer.
Music theory
Music theory is a field of study that aims to investigate the various elements of music, including the development and methodology to analyze, listen to, understand and compose music. The Oxford Dictionary of Music describes three interrelated aspects:
Musical form
In music, musical form in its generic sense designates both a musical structure and a writing tradition that allows the musical work to be placed in the history of the evolution of musical creation. Added to a title of a work, the different musical forms such as symphony, concerto, prelude, fantasy, etc., then designate both a structure that has been built over time, and a particular musical genre, a musical composition that has evolved over centuries: opera, dance, etc.
Musical intensity
Intensity in music is the quality that differentiates a soft sound from a loud sound. It depends on the force with which the sound body is played and the distance of the receiver from the sound source. It is one of the four essential qualities of articulated sound along with pitch, duration and timbre.
Rhythm
Rhythm can be generally defined as a “movement marked by the regular succession of weak and strong elements, or of opposite or different conditions”. That is, a flow of movement, controlled or measured, sound or visual, generally produced by an arrangement of different elements of the medium in question.
Melody
A melody is a succession of sounds that is perceived as a single entity. It unfolds in a linear sequence, that is, over time, and has its own identity and meaning within a particular sound environment.
Musical height
In music, musical height is one of the four essential qualities of sound, along with duration, intensity, and timbre. This quality determines whether a sound is high-pitched or low-pitched, which will depend on the frequency at which the sound wave is repeated. The higher the repetition of the wave, the higher the sound will be and the lower the repetition, the lower the sound will be. For this reason, musical notes are determined by a frequency number. In psychoacoustics pitch is a parameter used to determine the perception of the pitch of a sound.
