Tonal music is an art language with highly civilized products. As an art form, the vocabularies, syntax and techniques are integrated as one to portray the vast varieties of music emotion.
Agogic is exactly such term used to describe human feeling and emotion. It not only describes degrees of speed, but also refers to the character of a composition. Since, the variety of agogic terms appearing on scores to describe all shades of human feeling and emotion.
Music theory teaching should not be detached from human sentiment. Agogic, to author's view, is embedded in harmonic progression. She proposes agogic progression to denote the motion of voice leading and direction within a particular time span.
