We often talk loosely about 'rules' in music, but really there are no rules, and never have been - not, at least, in the sense that somewhere there exists or has existed an official body of legislators decreeing what composers may or may not do. The so-called 'rules' are no more than conventions derived from a study of what composers have changed slowly, at others very rapidly. At no time, however, have they been completely static, and it can never be assumed that the conventions which we now take for granted apply equally to the music of past ages.
