"In Rameau's later writings, beginning with his manuscript L'art de la basse fondamentale from the early 1740s (published as Gianotti, F1759) and particularly in the Code de musique pratique, his last and most comprehensive composition treatise (1760), Rameau loosened the rigorously deductive structuring of his theory. He allowed greater flexibility in the rules governing the fundamental bass (to produce, for example, various kinds of chromatic and enharmonic progressions). Of special note was his increasing willingness to explain chords of supposition as products of melodic suspension and his acceptance of equal temperament as a necessity demanded by reason and taste."
