	Simon Sechter
		In 1851 Sechter was appointed professor of composition at the Vienna Conservatorium.
		Sechter's ideas are derived from Jean-Philippe Rameau's theories of the fundamental bass, always diatonic even when the surface is highly chromatic.
		Sechter was also a composer, and in that capacity is mostly remembered for writing about 5000 fugues (he tried to write at least one fugue every day), but he also wrote masses and oratorios.

	Schoenberg on Tonal Function
		The "quasi-diatonic" introduction is characterized by its application and promotes "modulation" between regions; "chromatic" introduction acts mainly as an enrichment of harmony and is unable to produce a change of region, or tonality.
		According to Phipps, Sechter derives from Rameau, "the diminished-seventh chord is a substitute for a dominant-ninth chord whose real root is a major third below the root of the diminished-seventh chord.
		Sechter describes the chord as an illegitimate chord (Zwitterakkord), which is built on the second scale degree with a major third and a diminished fifth." See PHIPPS, Graham.

		In the following year he traveled to the conservatory in Vienna to apply for private study with the eminent theoretician, Simon Sechter (coincidentally at the same age that Schubert went to study with Sechter 17 years earlier, only to die within a month).
		Sechter accepted Bruckner immediately upon application, and required him to leave the seclusion of St. Florian, where he was school master, and move to the town of Linz.
		Sechter also required Bruckner to concentrate on his studies and refrain from free composition; Bruckner duly complied, being an obedient peasant boy.

		In it two hands can be clearly distinguished — those of Schubert and Sechter: Schubert had copied and revised his rough draft in order to submit the examples to Sechter for discussion.
		We can conclude from the portions written by Schubert and by Sechter that Schubert was advised to his satisfaction by the experienced theorist; the questions his examples had raised regarding technical details of fugal exposition were answered.
		As a special gesture, Sechter assigned the illustrious student for the next lesson a fugue on a theme formed by the letters of Schubert's name.

		In addition to working hard at his job, he practiced a great deal, taught piano, sang in a choir and spent seven hours a day doing harmony and counterpoint exercises, which he sent, for comment, to Simon Sechter.

	MTO 6.1: Meeus, Toward a Post-Schoenbergian Grammar of Tonal and Pre-tonal Harmonic Progressions
		The rejection may be linked with a Romantic conception, still vivid today, that views tonality as immanent, precompositional: in both the Viennese (Simon Sechter) and the German (Hugo Riemann) theories, the tonal significance of a chord is seen to derive from its position in a preexisting, abstract system of hierarchies.
		My position is different: I list progressions in common practice tonal works, without any preconception of what they should be, in order to verify whether their usage is random--it soon appears that it is not.
		[5] Schoenberg’s commentary about superstrong progressions being "false" probably refers to the teaching of Anton Bruckner (following that of Simon Sechter) according to whom progressions of a second often are but scheinbare Schritte, apparent progressions, to be explained as the result of the elision of an intermediate root.
