\newglossaryentry{monotonality}{%
	name={monotonality},
	description={the concept that modulations in a piece of music do not bear formal or semantic weight. This concept spurred on Schoenberg's discussion of tonal regions, where he describes far-flung chromatic modulations in terms of a modulation matrix that he calls a ``chart of the regions.'' This concept was inspired by Schenker's theories, which disregard modulations for being ad hoc.}
