Energy of bindings Energy of bindings depend from energy of sounding tones. The energy of one selected binding is lower when the connection has more bindings. Partial harmonic connection Partial harmonic connection contains some subset of bindings of the harmonic connection. Study of these subsets is important for differentiation of musical styles. The table is sorted by values of impulse.
Every harmonic connection is permissible.
Not all the combinations of tension are natural and sounds good. E.g. various rules permit or forbid some kind of fifths in harmonic connections. Functionality Continuity makes sound of the given connection fluent. Impulse adds expression to the connection. E.g. the following connections are sorted by sum of continuity and impulse.
