What is "tonality"?
Tonality refers to the organization of pitches and chords around a central note, called the tonic, which gives the music a sense of direction and resolution. It determines the key of a piece, shaping its overall sound and mood. Tonality helps define the relationship between notes and chords, creating a framework that guides how music is structured and how different musical elements interact. It provides a sense of stability and coherence by centering the music around a specific pitch or scale.
