I'm doing a bit of woodshedding on harmony theory and in particular non-functional harmony. This refers to chord progressions that kind of "float" and don't obviously resolve in conventional ways, which is what "functional" harmonies do (Mozart, Haydn etc etc). So think Wagner, Debussy, Ravel, some late Faure etc. I'm not interested in 12 tone music - I'm looking for some more good examples of tonal but non-functional harmony.
Suggestions?
I've attached Bernstein on L'Apres Midi which gives an insight into this
