but do you find one in, say, the first fifteen bars of Tristan? There, F major, D minor, A minor, G major/minor all hover around as potential areas of resolution, and when F major does appear in bar seventeen, it's immediately rejected in favour of G major, and then C major and then G minor. Take away the consonant triads, displace the octaves in the chromatic lines - and you've got pre-serial "Atonality".
