The next chapter, which constitutes the main body of the study, is the presentation of the octatonic system. The construction of the system from components like tritone and minor third relationship, its connection with the concept of function and diatonicism will be explained in detail. After that, analytical examples from the common practice period will be presented in order to demonstrate the approach of the theory for typical tonal idioms.
In the third chapter, the system will be applied to musical examples from Guillaume de Machaut, Alexander Agricola, Pierluigi da Palestrina, Carlo Gesualdo, Claudio Monteverdi, Giacomo Carissimi and Arcangelo Corelli, in order to investigate the relationship between harmonic motion and the emergence of tonality.
In the final chapter, the evaluation of the theory will be made, in the context of the preliminaries from the first chapter also with the data from the analyses.
