Harmonic punctuation

Musical punctuation can be implemented via harmony.

  • going to the tonic, assuming there is one, is the most conclusive
  • strong root progression is common
  • contrapuntal relationship between bass line and main melodic line
  • a change in harmonic rhythm implies something special
