You're absolutely right, I see your point.
But - when making music, does your mind revolve around music theory, or
around the music?
Does a musician sit down and create theoretical novelties before playing
them?
Music theory is a way to communicate musical matters so that others can
Modern chord symbols appeared much later than you might think. I looked this up
not long ago. I believe it was the 1920s or 30s and had to do with session
playing. To do with films perhaps?

Theory is taught, but novelties appear regardless - see Monteverdi and

How would musicians like Dowland or Johnson have named their
chords? Were they thinking in chord progressions, modalities,
incidental chords arising in polyphonic cadences? I guess this is a

“Tonic" and “dominant" are from Rameau’s 1722 Treatise on Harmony. I can’t
swear he invented the terms, but he’s the reason they’re used. Describing
music in harmonic terms is his legacy. The Treatise was published less than 20
years after
Interestingly, the compendium is for spanish guitar of 5 courses, 2
pages about the 4 couse guitar and then the same again in catalan, but
with improved diagrams. (The text says that the first version was made
in 1586 already!)
Juan Carlos Amat's little book Guitarra Espanola y Vandola (?) was
published already in 1596 but the earliest surviving edition is from
1627.

The guitarists spring to mind with their alfabetto and chord diagrams:
