Why does a dominant chord make you ache for it to resolve, and how do composers from Mozart to Szymanowski stretch that ache until it's almost unbearable? I take you through five levels of harmonic tension, from the simple pull of two notes to Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy, Mahler's Second Symphony and Szymanowski's enormous breaking point. At every level you'll see and hear how the technique works, so you can build that longing into your own music.
