	tonal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In classical tonal practice, the sounding of the dominant chord followed by the tonic triad is the basis for establishing a tonality.
		The overwhelmingly common practice in tonal harmony is to have a dissonant chord built on V lead to the chord built on I. This is the basis of the "dominant-tonic" or "tonic-dominant" relationship.
		Common practice placed a great deal of emphasis on the correct use of cadences to structure music, and cadences were placed precisely to define the sections of a work.

		For instance, in the common practice period, harmony is generally governed by chords, which are collections of notes generally considered to be consonant (though even within this harmonic system there is a hierarchy of chords, with some considered relatively more consonant and some relatively more dissonant).
		In the common practice period all dissonances were required to be prepared and then resolved, occurring on weak beats and quickly giving way or returning to a consonance.
		Period length or neural-firing coincidence: with the length of periodic neural-firing created by two or more wave-forms, higher simple numbers creating longer periods or lesser coincidence of neural-firing and thus dissonance (Patternson, 1986; Boomsliter and Creel, 1961; Meyer, 1898; Roederer, 1973, p.145-149).

		Common practice music shares many traits and is tonal as opposed to modal or atonal and includes most of classical and popular_music.
		Patterns of pitch and duration are of primary importance in common practice melody while quality is of secondary importance.

	European classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Improvisation in classical music performance was far more common during the Baroque era, and recently the performance of such music by modern classical musicians has been enriched by a revival of the old improvisational practices.
		During the Classical period, Mozart and Beethoven sometimes improvised the cadenzas to their piano concertos--but tended to write out the cadenzas when other soloists were to perform them.
		For the most part, the instruments used in common practice classical music are nonelectrical and were invented prior to the mid-1800's (often, much earlier), and codified in the 1700 and 1800's.

		Music as organized sound: One common definition of music is to label it as 'organized sound', which is determines music according to the poetic and the neutral levels (it must be composed sonorities), or more aesthetically, 'the artful or pleasing organization of sound and silence', which determines music according to the esthesic.
		There is the study of sound and vibration or acoustics, the cognitive study of music, the study of music theory and performance practice or music theory and ethnomusicology and the study of the reception and history of music, generally called musicology.
		It is also common for people to take music lessons, short private study sessions with an individual teacher, when they want to learn to play or compose music, usually for a fee.

	Minor sixth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the common practice period sixths, along with their inverse, thirds, are considered the most interesting and dynamic consonances.
		In an equal tempered tuning, an Augmented fifth is equal to eight semitones, a ratio of 1:28/12 (approximately 1.587), or 800 cents.
		Although they are enharmonicaly equal to minor sixths and have a consonant frequency ratio of 5:8, in the common practice period augmented fifths were considered dissonant or unstable and disallowed.

		He is asking whether the idea of a common practice is a worthwhile notion for the contemporary age.
		The historical common practice period was determined, generally speaking, by drawing a circle around European composers, and composers educated in that harmonic tradition.
		In short, the new common practice, if it is to exist as an emergence, has to be worldcentric at the very least.

		The Ancient period, for the purposes of this material, refers to that period of time prior to the Middle Ages and encompasses the time of the Greeks and Romans.
		The most common musical instruments of the Middle Ages and Renaissance were the stringed instruments and the wind instruments.
		One reason for this practice, of course, was the interest on the part of 16th-century musicians to explore the complete tonal spectrum of music, creating new and different tone colors.

		The most common chords in Western classical and pop music are based on the first, fourth, and fifth scale degrees (tonic, subdominant and dominant); see three chord song, eight bar blues, and twelve bar blues.
		The chord based on the second scale degree is used in the most common chord progression in Jazz, ii-V-I. Chord progressions are usually associated with a scale and the notes of each chord are usually taken from that scale.
		In music of the common practice period generally only certain chord progressions are used and many of the progressions not used are not traditionally tonal.

		Counterpoint, the great defining feature of the Common Practice Period, is virtually non-existent; this is one of the greatest revolutions of the 20th century, and truly creates a break from the past.

		George Perle (1990) has labeled this "Tradition in 20th Century Music", the most significant of which he considers the, "shared premise of the harmonic equivalence of inversionally symmetrical pitch-class relations," among composers such as Edgard Varese, Alban Berg, Bela Bartok, Arnold Schoenberg, Alexander Scriabin, Igor Stravinsky, Anton Webern, and himself.

	NewMusicBox
		A shared language of harmonic procedures characterized the original so-called "common-practice period," which is generally understood to have lasted from the 17th through the early 20th centuries in Europe.
		During this period, the story goes, composers spoke in the same tongue, and could thus successfully communicate with each other and "the audience." The ascendance of instrumental music and growing ease of long-distance travel—mainly within Europe, of course—supposedly contributed to an increasing sense of internationalism, which in turn led to a pretense of universalism.
		Think of it like this: At the beginning of the common practice period, the European music world could be described as a relatively smooth space, where the division between "elite" and "popular" was less clearly defined, more fluid than in later history.

	Scales
		The music of the "common practice" period is based on scales primarily derived from the various white-key scales, which also form scales on the staff without using accidentals.
		The Ionian mode is better known today as the major scale and the Aeolian as the minor scale.
		When using the common practice modes and scales, we can refer to the various pitch classes of the scale by their scale degree.

	MICROCOSMS: Introduction
		This common language, or common practice, formed a MACROCOSM, or "large universe", to which composers subscribed for three centuries.
		At the end of the 19th century, however, the tremendous growth of science and technology (especially as seen in communications) made Western civilization a much smaller place, and the need for a common musical language was not as crucial.
		Expressionism followed the path of the Common Practice Period, but mutated each of the five basic truths stated above; it led to Serialism and Total Serialism.
