| 7. Capitel. Vom Terzquartenaccord 2. Abtheilung. |
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) shows the fourth (colored notehead) added to the 6-chord, even though the fourth is not explicit in the 6 figure. |
|
|
|
|
If the fifth of the chord (third above the bass) is doubled instead of adding the fourth, parallel fifths are created as shown in example (aa). |
|
|
Example (a) is incorrectly labeled "(b)" in the Versuch and in CPEB:CW, and both examples are oddly placed between examples (c) and (d). They have here been pulled forward to the more logical place in the discussion. |
