I have a tender and reverent love for the most banal musical concepts, because behind the hackneyed terms from school solfeggio lie the most important musical laws. If we do not understand how tone and semitone affect us, we will not be able to understand the innovations of Radiohead. You can know the words "minor" and "major", but you need to understand why minor seemed an unstable mode to baroque composers. If you analyze the "self-evident", you can find many discoveries. This is what delights me in music theory. I want to share this delight with you in this lecture.
