'''Elements of Harmony''' ([[Windermere/Classical|Classical Windermere]]: ''Yămyămał clisăyfäl'') is a textbook on just intonation authored in [[Windermere/Classical|Classical Windermere]] by physicist, mathematician and composer Tsăhongtamdi covering elementary number theory, acoustics, and just intonation music theory.

Supporters of [[Verse:Tricin/Plud Schrog-Hahn|Soha Plu]] believe that the text was written in [[Schlaub]] before it was translated into Classical Windermere, and that Tsăhongtamdi is simply a Windermere pseudonym of a (probably) Hlou composer.

Tsăhongtamdi's most influential recommendation was against using fixed-pitch instruments; he argued that they were expressively limited. This recommendation was lasting in influence - most instruments used in traditional Hlou-Shum music are flexible-pitch instruments.

Ts-T derives using calculus that the desired function is well-approximated by Taylor polynomials: namely, $log(x+1) = A(x+1) ≈ \sum_{n=1}^{N} (-1)^n \frac{x^n}/{n}$, when $|x| < 1$.
