Chapter 3. On the 6-chord Section 1. |
| §. 10. Wenn bey gehenden, oder in Terzen springenden Grundnoten viele Sexten hintereinander vorkommen, so braucht man die Verdoppelung wechselsweise, um keine Octaven zu machen: | §10. If the bass proceeds by step or leaps in thirds with many consecutive sixths as figures, then one needs to alternate which tone is doubled in order to avoid parallel octaves: |
Ex. II:71 |
|
| Obgleich die Nothwendigkeit der Verdoppelung bey diesen gehenden Baßnoten größer ist, als bey den springenden: so verdoppelt man doch gerne bey den letztern um des guten Gesanges in der Oberstimme willen. | Although the necessity of alternating the doubling in stepwise bass notes is greater than in leaping ones, one nevertheless tends to do so in the latter case for better voice-leading in the upper voice. |
