'''A[[arto and tendo|rto and tendo]]''' or '''extraclassical tonality''' refers to tonality that uses ultramajor (or "tendo") and inframinor (or "arto") triads. Because these chords share many of the same properties as major and minor triads, the extraclassical harmonic system resembles the conventional diatonic system in many ways, however, it also has many distinct characteristics that make it sound nothing like normal major and minor chords.

The name "extraclassical" derives from the mediants' position outside the range of the classical and standard diatonic mediants.
