1. Polytonality

   Polytonality (also polyharmony) is the musical use of more than one key simultaneously. Bitonality is the use of only two different keys at the same time. Polyvalence or polyvalency is the use of more than one harmonic function, from the same key, at the same time. Some examples of bitonality superimpose fully harmonized sections of music in different keys.

1. polytonality

   Polytonality is a musical technique or composition style where two or more different keys or tonalities are used simultaneously. This creates complex harmonies and is often used to evoke a sense of tension, dissonance, or modernity in the music. The term polytonality is often used broadly to encompass polychordality, the use of multiple chords that don't exist within the same key.
