How our sense of tonality works, without thinking about keys, chords, scales, intervals etc.

playpianofluen... Tonality works according to some basic, solid principles that we can easily learn. But we must also use strong expressive intention which is based more on rhythm and cadence than theoretical ideas like keys, chords, intervals, scales etc. We also don't need aural training, or to develop our sense of pitch, as our inner sense of harmony and harmonic progression is instinctively strong.
