    A system of harmonic analysis.
 
    It is based on the idea that, in a given key, there are only three
 functionally different chords: tonic (T, the chord on the first note of
 the scale), subdominant (S, the chord on the fourth note), and dominant
 (D, the chord on the fifth note).  Others are considered to be variants
 of the base chords.  A few examples among many others are the tonic,
 subdominant or dominant of the parallel minor scale, or the incomplete
 dominant seventh chord.
