Music theory can sometimes seem a little overly complex, bloated, perhaps even pretentious. Take for example the excerpt below.
"In a strong tonal context, all elements of progression are subordinate to the pull of the tonal center and a drive towards cadential realization. Traditional tonality depends upon scale and chord relationships for its organization. Usually three basic chords are needed to produce a feeling of tonality: one built upon a scale step above the tonic, one below the tonic, and the tonic itself. Harmony with tritone gravitation is helpful in establishing the center." - From Twentieth-Century Harmony
It's a lot of complicated language for what should be a pretty simple concept. Trust me, music doesn't have to be that complicated, shouldn't be that complicated, and isn't that complicated.
