It will probably have been noticed that suspensions have not had the important position assigned to them in this work which they usually hold in treatises on Harmony. Formerly discords were divided into two great classes, fundamental discords and discords of suspension. This system arose from two caus...es : first, because authors had come to an erroneous conclusion that certain discords being the intervals produced by a mathematical ratio, were specially entitled to be called fundamental ; secondly, because it was found SUSPENSIONS. 61 that tonic discords (discords of the tonic series) were generally pre- pared, and it was hence supposed that they never could or would be used without preparation. Whereas in fact, as far as mathematical ratios are concerned, equal temperament makes both tonic and dominant discords of equal im- portance, and the preparation of tonic discords was not a legal necessity but a mere habit now almost extinct.
