  Gee,  such a simple question, which calls for an endless answer!
 
     Tonality is the organization of musical tension. In the well 
temperaments of the past, the organization has aligned itself with respect to 
its distance from the key of C, via fifths. 
  
   It is the appreciation for the interplay of consonance and dissonance that 
occurs between keys in a well tempered tuning.  Tonality is also a direction. 
 It can be felt when there are various levels of tempering in like intervals 
of an octave.   It creates a sensual response in the sensitive listener by 
varying the tempering, and it has been well documented that people respond 
differently to highly tempered intervals than they do to Just intervals. 
Movement along this direction, in either direction, creates a variety in the 
musical texture, or levels of dissonance.  Tonality allows movement between 
keys to increase or decrease the musical tension that  results from 
dissonance.
