| 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, [. . .] man bleibt bequem in der Lage (b), | §1. If one takes the perfect fourth with the major sixth and minor third, although the fourth is not explicitly indicated, [. . .] one remains comfortably in position (b), |
|
|
|
The example marked (b) above shows the fourth added to the 6–chord (colored notehead), even though the fourth is not explicit in the figure, resulting in smooth, closed voiced leading. |
|
|
|
|
The second example (b) shows increased right-hand shifting compared to the first example if the third is doubled instead adding the fourth to the 6–chord. |
|
|
The second example (b) is incorrectly labeled "(c)" in the Versuch and in CPEB:CW. |
