Stories of Tonality in the Age of FranoisJoseph Ftis explores the concept of musical tonality through the writings of the Belgian musicologist FranoisJoseph Ftis (17841867), who was singularly responsible for theorizing and popularizing the term in the nineteenth century. Thomas Christensen weaves a rich story in which tonality emerges as a theoretical construct born of anxiety and alterity for Europeans during this time as they learned more about other musics and alternative tonal systems. Tonality became a central vortex in which French musicians thoughtand arguedabout a variety of musical repertoires, be they contemporary European musics of the stage, concert hall, or church, folk songs from the provinces, microtonal scale systems of Arabic and Indian music, or the medieval and Renaissance music whose notational traces were just beginning to be deciphered by scholars. Ftiss influential writings offer insight into how tonality ingrained itself within nineteenthcentury music discourse, and why it has continued to resonate with uncanny prescience throughout the musical upheavals of the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries.
