Summary

This section has discussed the following:

  • Traditional Non-Chord Notes
  • Chord Treatments
    • Interpreting arpeggiated chords as if they were solid.
    • Interpreting a single jumpy line as several smooth lines.
  • Scope
    • Recognizing that melodic connections can be interrupted and extended. How we interpret music is effected by the breadth of our scope.
  • Register Changes
  • Voice Leading Variations
    • Escaped Notes
    • Inner voice motions which sacrifice the best possible melodic motion in favour of good chord structure.
