Abstract

Compared with Classical Period, the harmony of Romantic Period Music is not clearlyable to understand only from the view of the theory of functional harmony. In thisarticle the author will deal with the Roving Harmony, which Arnold Schoenbergpointed out in his book, Structural Functions of Harmony, and parallel chords, whichwere not often described in detail as one of the important harmonic techniques of theRomantic Era. The following points will be explained:1) Both Roving harmony and parallel chords are nonfunctional. Thus, theybreak the tonality of the music or make it unclear.2) Nonfunctional harmony cannot be in existence by itself. It cooperatesalways with functional harmony and operates 4 tonal conditions of the music,namely stable, fluid, vague and indefinite.It will be also surveyed that how these 4 conditions relate to the romantic aestheticsor characteristics, in short fantasy and passion.
