 Thus, in the above example (which is in G major), the G major triad that Schenker claims we perceive through the first two measures would be labelled "I".However, unlike traditional harmonic analyses, Schenker's theory is not concerned with the mere labelling of such chords, but rather with discerning hierarchical relationships among tones.For Schenker, the chords occurring in a passage need not be of equal import.
