	Tone and Voice: A Derivation of the Rules of Voice-leading from Perceptual Principles
		Music theorists traditionally distinguish three classes of harmonic intervals: perfect consonances (such as perfect unisons, octaves, fourths, and fifths), imperfect consonances (such as major and minor thirds and sixths), and dissonances (such as major and minor seconds and sevenths, and tritones).
		In Western music, the dividing line between step and leap motion is traditionally placed between a major second and a minor third; that is, a major second (2 semitones) is considered a conjunct or step motion, whereas a minor third (3 semitones) is considered the smallest disjunct or leap motion.
		Musically, the distance separating the targets can be regarded as the pitch distance between two tones, whereas the size of the targets represents pitch accuracy or intonation.

	Tchaikovsky
		Tchaikovsky's music was marked by a sensuously rhythmic pulse, and an innate melodic ability that enabled him to create some of the world's greatest ballet music.
		Tchaikovsky's inner conflicts perhaps give a clue to his music for he openly adored the style and grace of Mozart, yet gravitated to the revolutionary innovations of Liszt and the Romantics.
		The music is intensely moving and revolves around the universal theme of LIFE and DEATH.

		His "American" quartet in F is based in part on a five-note scale that reflects Native American music he had heard.

		Sullivan's last essay in the genre of incidental music was undoubtedly inspired by the success of his Macbeth music for Henry Irving seven years earlier.

	Kennedy Center: Biographical information for Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
		Tchaikovsky was musically precocious, but his interest was not actively encouraged because his parents felt it had an unhealthy effect on an already neurotically excitable child.
		Though his musical training was informal, the boy composed a waltz for piano in her memory.
		His compositions of the late 1860s and early '70s reveal a distinct affinity with the music of the nationalist group of composers in St. Petersburg, both in their treatment of folk song and in their harmonies deriving from a common link with Mikhail Glinka, the "father" of a Russian nationalist style.

	William Harnett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Harnett was an expert at rendering textures: for example, the tattered and fragile music stained with age; the shine of an ebony-and-ivory flute; books with worn leather covers; the reflection of light on a brass candlestick; the translucency of a candle; and the shiny and matte sides of a red ribbon bookmark.
		Music and literature help to preserve the past, and Harnett specifically included Miguel Cervantes's early seventeenth-century novel Don Quixote and music (in the foreground) from the more recent opera La Traviata, written by Guiseppe Verdi in 1853.
		The music, however, is stained and torn, and the leather covers of the books worn with age.

		The revival of interest in Grieg’s music, which has been gathering momentum for some little time now, continues with this attractive issue from Chandos.
		All the music is relatively early, from the Seven Fugues of 1861-2, which have no opus number, to the Four Album Leaves, which, though published in 1878, contain music from as far back as 1864.
		Even in this music from early in his career, Grieg’s expressive range and the fertility of his imagination come over strongly, and Tabe is always a sensitive, responsive interpreter.
