# S However, even in the case of such a progres- sion as the last, harmonies not directly related can be forced into a kind of direct connection HARMONY 53 by the use of what may be called chord-fusion. By this term is meant the simultaneous em- ployment of more than one simple chord. Such simple chords then blend into a more complex combination which may take on itself the char- acter and relationships of either of the original simple chords. Thus, the chord of G is the nearest relative to tha...t of C, while the chord of D is related only indirectly to that of C; if we fuse the chord of D with that of G we produce a complex dissonant combination which in virtue of the presence in it of the harmony of G is directly related to the har- mony of C : — $ 1 This fact of chord-fusion renders possible the logical use of any combination of the notes of the key. As the chief fact in the idea of Tonality is the implicit and explicit tendency to progress to the key-centre and as the direct progression to this key-centre takes place only from the Dominant harmony, such chord fu- sion is mostly carried out on the basis of Dominant harmony.
