Tonality is the idea of there being a tonic note or a key tonal centre around which other notes are placed in a hierarchical pattern. Tonality is the underlying concept behind much of Western music. It is the conceptual basis for scales, chords, and harmony, and ultimately leads to the creation of character, mood, and feeling in a piece of music.
