Le Traité de l'harmonie de Jean-Philippe Rameau est l'un des ouvrages les plus significatifs de l'histoire de la musique occidentale. Initially published in 1722, the treatise was instantly acknowledged as a significant breakthrough in musical theory, as it was the first to formalize the principles of tonality that would influence Western music for nearly two centuries.
