  2. Axis system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_system

    Thus, the twelve tones of the chromatic scale are identified in a two-part system of categorisation: each tone is a member of a four note axis (tonic, dominant, and subdominant); each tone is part of a branch within that axis that is either the principal or secondary branch of that axis; and each branch consists of a pole and counterpole. [3]

  3. Thomastik-Infeld - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomastik-Infeld

    Thomastik-Infeld's workshops were completely destroyed in World War Two. In 1970, the Dominant strings were launched. In those years, the conventional gut string was challenged by perlon strings; Thomastik-Infeld offered this type of string, making the brand very popular for virtuosi across the world.

    the azimuthal angle φ, which is the angle of rotation of the radial line around the polar axis. [b] (See graphic regarding the "physics convention".) Once the radius is fixed, the three coordinates (r, θ, φ), known as a 3-tuple, provide a coordinate system on a sphere, typically called the spherical polar coordinates.

  5. Dominant (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominant_(music)

    If, for example, a piece is written in the key of C major, then the tonic key is C major and the dominant key is G major since G is the dominant note in C major. [9] "Essentially, there are two harmonic directions: toward I and toward V. These primary diatonic triads form the harmonic axis of tonal music." [10]

  6. Emotion classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_classification

    Arousal represents the vertical axis and valence represents the horizontal axis, while the center of the circle represents a neutral valence and a medium level of arousal. [11] In this model, emotional states can be represented at any level of valence and arousal, or at a neutral level of one or both of these factors.

  7. Function (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(music)

    The concept of harmonic function originates in theories about just intonation.It was realized that three perfect major triads, distant from each other by a perfect fifth, produced the seven degrees of the major scale in one of the possible forms of just intonation: for instance, the triads F–A–C, C–E–G and G–B–D (subdominant, tonic, and dominant respectively) produce the seven ...

  8. Closely related key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closely_related_key

    [3] For example, the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 7, K. 309, modulates only to closely related keys (the dominant, supertonic, and submediant). [4] Given a major key tonic (I), the related keys are: ii (supertonic, [5] the relative minor of the subdominant) iii (mediant, [5] the relative minor of the dominant)

  9. Political spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_spectrum

    The distinction corresponds to the utopian versus dystopian spectrum used in some theoretical assessments of liberalism, and the book's title is borrowed from the work of the anti-utopian classic-liberal theorist Karl Popper. Other proposed axes include: Focus of political concern: communitarianism vs. individualism.
