2. THE LITTLE CATALOGUE

The little catalogue of harmonic vocabulary found below regroups a collection of formulas that articulate the most common gestures employed by tonal composers from Bach to Wagner. This consistency of this material is due to the mere fact that these composers speak a common language, namely the tonal language, independent of any considerations regarding style or period.
