Music theory is a complicated field, and sometimes it can seem unnecessarily obtuse, but I think a lot of that comes down to just a couple misunderstandings about what we're actually doing. Whether this comes from a bad teacher, a missed point, or just basic human nature, a lot of people seem to not really get how musical analysis works, and since knowing how musical analysis works is kinda my job, I figured it was time to set the record straight.
