Its the character of a piece of music as determined by the key in which it is played or the relations between the notes of a scale or key.

The main points of the ABRSM G8 are as follows - This might help you understand where the term "Tonality" sits

To sing or play from memory the lowest part of a three-part phrase played twice by the examiner.

To identify the cadence at the end of a continuing phrase as perfect, imperfect, interrupted or plagal.

To identify the three chords (including their positions) forming the above cadential progression.

To sing the lower part of a two-part phrase from score, with the upper part played by the examiner.

To identify whether the modulations at the end of two different passages are to the dominant, subdominant or relative minor/major.

To describe the characteristic features of a piece played by the examiner

The fourth movement of the sonata is an ABRSM Grade 8 piece. The second movent has previously been a Grade 6 piece. The other two movements, the first and third, I believe are ungraded.
