Parry, l "is either to summon the attention of the audience, or to lead their minds into the earnest and sober mood which is fittest for the appreciation of great things." When the object of the Introduction is simply a "call to attention," it frequently amounts to little more than a sonorous giving-out of the Tonic chord, or at any rate, a group of chords defining the principal key of the movement that is about to follow.
