Features: The first part of Fundamentals of Harmony, it covers harmonic problems within the major-minor system and the harmonic problems of ethnic modes—the natural modes within the same palace system. Starting from the first chapter of the second part, the authors return to the major-minor system. The main content includes altered chords, modulations, key changes, and composite modes with the same tonic. The method of chord notation also returns to the original "tonic notation," and it is hoped that readers will adjust their mindset when studying the second part. In this part, the authors do not set aside a separate chapter to discuss the complexities of ethnic mode harmony, mainly because the basic principles discussed in the second part are also applicable to ethnic modes.
