(1) the first bar would seem set to create a tonality of C major(2) It is not fortuitous that the key is D minor, a tonality traditionally associated with quest, especially by the Viennese classics, and perhaps by the High Baroque masters as well.(3) In the ‘Rubaiyat’, the lightness of the flowers is emphasised by the dark green shade of the leaves, while their colouring relates to the rather dark tonality employed in the miniatures.(4) Then there's Bartok's stretched tonality , the expressive dissonances that result only partly from his use of scales and modes from eastern European folk music, the downright virtuosity of the writing, especially for piano.(5) the first bar would seem set to create a tonality of C major(6) Aspects of his style are indebted to Manet and Sickert, the former in the alla prima succulence of paint application, the latter in muted, at times almost murky, close tonality in the depiction of crowds.(7) The lighting too is questionable, reduced in some rooms to levels which, while they might suit the tonality of Picasso, can kill the often subtle colours of Matisse.(8) Characteristically the paintings are grey in tonality , which together with their dusty-looking surfaces and the skeletal proportions of the figures often conveys a ghostly feeling.(9) This very ordinary subject is transformed by its subtlety of tonality ; for Levitan had become a master of rendering the gradations of light as the sky darkens at dusk and moonlight establishes itself.(10) After all, you have tonality in modal music; you have tonality in folk music that has nothing to do with the triadic system.(11) Wagner, Mahler and Sibelius all used tonality and key centres to powerful ends, and the blaze of A major must have meant a great deal to Messiaen.(12) The fleet finale, lasting less than two minutes, is a wonder, with harmony and tonality largely in shreds.(13) Rubens's northern inheritance, which included painting on panels rather than canvas, brought into play a cooler range of colours, including bluer fleshtones and, generally, a softer overall tonality .(14) Its semi-finished state and near monochrome, cold blue tonality indicate that it is a surviving design for the relief.(15) A final chapter deals with Bach's use of tonality and modulation.(16) the sonata is noteworthy for its extensive variations of mood and tonality
