Such a hypothesis would contrast previous findings where cognitive attributes of Western harmony tend to affect listeners’ responses even in fast tempi ( Bigand et al., 2003...

... tunings, empirically establishes harmonic dualism, negative harmony, and Barlow’s harmonicity as the key factors for the perception of the harmonic root and the origin of the major and minor triads, and proposes a model as a basis for a tuning-agnostic—trans-spatial—music theory.

...Kathleen A. Corrigall; Barbara Tillmann; E. Glenn Schellenberg We used implicit and explicit tasks to measure knowledge of Western harmony in musically trained and untrained Canadian children. Younger children were 6–7 years of age; older children were 10–11. On each trial, participants heard...

In textbook accounts, diatonic IV and ii triads (and, in some cases, their seventh chords) are the next chords introduced after I and V ( Aldwell & Schachter, 2003 ; Burstein & Straus, 2016 ; Caplin, 1998 , 2013 ; Forte, 1962 ; Gauldin, 2004...

This study explored the interrelated...

...) incorporated the predicted salience of MFs at non-chord pitches in a model of pitch commonality , intended to account for harmonic relationships perceived between successive chords such as CEG (with MFs at D, F, and A) and DFA (with MFs at G and B♭).

The MMN responses were largest when distortion and harmony deviated simultaneously. Musicians demonstrated larger P3a responses than nonmusicians. The results suggest mostly...

Previous research suggests sensitivity to key membership by 4 or 5 years, but provides no behavioral evidence of harmony perception until 6 or 7. Thus, we examined knowledge of key membership and harmony in 4- and 5-year...
