Chapter 7. On the 6/4/3 chord Section 2. |
| §. 1. Wenn man zur großen Sexte mit der kleinen Terz die reine Quarte, ohne ausdrückliche Andeutung nimmt (a), so vermeidet man dadurch zuweilen Fehler (aa); | §1. If one takes the perfect fourth with the major sixth and minor third, although the fourth is not explicitly indicated (a), then one occasionally avoids errors (aa); |
|
|
|
The example marked (a) above shows the fourth (colored notehead) added to the 6-sharp chord, even though the fourth is not explicit in the 6-sharp figure. |
|
|
|
|
Adding the fourth this way instead of doubling the the third of the chord, for example, avoids the parallel octaves illustrated in example (aa) above, |
|
|
|
|
and it likewise avoids parallel octaves if the fifth of the chord is doubled instead of adding the fourth, as shown above in the the second example marked (aa). |
