There may be more than one passing note in a row, for example,when the jump from one chord tone to the next spans the interval of a fourth:
Passing notes may be diatonic or chromatic:
diatonic upper neighbour:
The passing note bridges the jump between two chord tones by filling it in with stepwise motion.Passing notes are normally metrically weak.
If a voice moves away from a chord tone by step and then back, the non chord tone is a neighbour note.Neighbour notes are normally metrically weak.
diatonic lower neighbour:
chromatic upper neighbour:
Double neighbour (DN)Both the upper and lower neighbours are heard side byside. Usually the upper neighbour is heard first, but itcould be the other way around:
Incomplete neighbour: (INC N)(One of the chord tones is absent.)
Most common example: the passing note fills in the jump of a 3rd:
One may also find passing notes that are metrically stronger than the tones before and after.These are referred to as accented passing notes (APN).
One may also find an accented neighbour:
chromatic lower neighbour:
Non-Chord Tones (Embellishing Tones)
NEIGHBOUR NOTE (NEIGHBOUR TONE, NEIGHBOUR, or AUXILIARY) (NN, NT, or N)

ANTICIPATION (ANT)
An anticipation states a note of the next chord just before the chord changes.It is metrically weak. Generally sounds best in the soprano.
diatonic upper appoggiatura:
diatonic lower appoggiatura:
chromatic appoggiatura:
SUSPENSION (SUSP, SUS)
A suspension is a note that was consonant, but that remained stationary when other voices moved,and is now dissonant. It then resolves by step. Suspensions are metrically strong.
A suspension that resolves upwards is known as a retardation:
ESCAPE TONE or ECHAPPEE (ESC or ECH)
Go by step in the wrong direction, then change direction and jump to the next chordtone. Echapps are metrically weak. Generally sounds best in the soprano.
REACHING TONE or CAMBIATA (RT or Camb)
Jump one note too far, then change direction and go by step to the next chord tone.Reaching tones are metrically weak. Generally sounds best in the soprano.(Note: This is NOT the same as the cambiata studied in first semester counterpoint.)
APPOGGIATURA
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the term appoggiatura referred to any metrically strong non chord tone that was nottied over from a previous note. Almost always, the appoggiatura resolved by step. One can think of the appoggiatura this way: In
place of the chord tone, sound the note a step above or below, then resolve by step to the chord tone.
Nowadays, many theorists define the appoggiatura in a more restrictive fashion. The new definitionstates that the appoggiatura is a metrically strong non-chord tone that is approached by leap andresolves by step:
(Originally, the suspension note was tied over from the preparation. Nowadays, we still use the term suspension even if there isn't a tie

PEDAL TONE (or simply PEDAL)
A single note that is sustained or repeated while the chords change.Pedal tones are most often found in the bass on the tonic or dominant note.

Voice leading rules: Leading tone rises by step.
Seventh of the chord falls by step. All dissonances involving the bass must resolve correctly i.e. - If the bass and another voice create a diminished 5th, they resolve inwards by step to create a 3rd. - If the bass and another voice creaef an augmented 4th, they resolve outwards by step to create a 6th. Between upper voices, a diminished fifth usually resolves correctly (contrary motion inwards by step to a 3rd), an augmented fourth may resolve correctly (contrary motion outwards by step to a 6th) or irregularly (usually both voices going by step to create a perfect fourth.)
vii7 is frequently used in root position, first inversion, and second inversion. It is not often used in third inversion.
vii7

vii7 contains the leading tone and has a dominant function. (N. B.: the root, third, and fifth of vii7 are the same as the third, fifth, and seventh of V7. Only the seventh of vii7 is differen But if you lower it a semitone, it is the root of the dominant seventh chord.)
)
Any chord that can lead to V can lead to vii7 (or an inversion, depending on voice leading).
The seventh of vii7 should be approached as a common tone or by step.
vii7 resolves to i (or an inversion, depending on voice leading).

A motive is a short, melodic and/or rhythmic musical idea. It is typically 2 to 4 notes in length.
Examples of motives:
A movement is usually based on a small number of motives. The motives usually appear prominently at the beginning of themovement, and are building blocks from which much of what follows is constructed. As an example, the opening melody ofHaydn's Symphony No. 88, IV is built out of two motives. They are labeled here as a and b:
Motives may be varied in a number of ways and still retain enough of their identity to be recognizable. Some possibilities:
1. A motive may start on different pitches:
2. Same as above, but one or more intervals may be slightly altered, often in order to fit a different harmony:
Repeated pitch (Haydn Symphony No. 88, IV)
Ascending 4th interval (Beethoven Piano Sonata Op. 14, No. 2, I)
Broken triad (Mozart Piano Sonata K. 545, I)

5. The pitches may be inverted:
Other changes are possible as well.
4. Notes may be added to a motive without destroying its identity. In the following example, two passing notes are added to m. 4:
6. Rhythmic alteration:
Here is a tuneful example from Mozart Piano Concerto K. 488, I that uses several of the above techniques:
7. The contour (melodic shape) of the motive might be altered:
3. Sometimes intervals are more obviously changed:
Mozart Oboe (Flute) Concerto in D, I
Mozart Symphony No. 35, I
Here is a particularly ingenious example.Notice how Mozart has imaginatively altered the opening repeated note motive:

In the key of C major, Play the tonic Play the note a fifth lower Play the note another fifth lower Continue until you reach the tonic again.
Play the same notes you just played, but Use your left hand Start in the middle of the piano keyboard Use a zig zag pattern, i.e. down, up, down, up, etc. (This keeps all the notes within one octave.)
Play the same thing with the left hand,and add the following with your right hand: Play a diatonic root position triad, using the left hand note as the root.
Especially in two-part writing, one commonly finds the top and
bottom voices a 10th apart throughout, moving in contrary motion(sometimes referred to as a 10-10 pattern):
Since the bass is a sequence, we will make the upper voices movesequentially, as well. There are a few ways to do this. One of the mostcommon is to have the top voice start a 10th above the bass and alternate,in contrary motion, 10th, octave, 10th, octave, etc. (this is sometimesreferred to as a 10-8 pattern):

Minor keys work the same as major. However, there is the question as towhether the 7th note of the scale should be raised to make a leading note.The answer is that it is not raised when it is not leading to the tonic, and itis when it does. As a result, it is only raised on the V chord.

We can fix the parallel octaves by changingthe tenor like this.

so that the main chords are approached with applieddominants.

The Rocket opening, commonly used in the Classical era, is an upward arpeggiation of the tonic chord, sometimes usedas an opening idea. It makes a clear statement of the key:
It starts either on the first beat of the bar, or with a pickup, and usually ends on a stong beat of the bar.It does not end on the last beat of the bar:
Haydn String Quartet in Bb Op. 1, No. 1
Notes may be repeated, and some of the notes may move in a downward direction, but the overall motion is upwards.The character often suggests trumpets or horns:
The rocket opening is rarely accompanied. It most commonly appears in octaves, but it may appear just as single notes:
The Rocket Opening
It is typically 2 bars long, but is sometimes 4 bars long.If it starts on the 1st beat of the bar, it normally starts on the tonic note.If starting with a pickup, it may start with the tonic note, but more often starts witht the dominant.It may end with any note of the chord, but 5th and 3rd are more common than root:
If it starts on the first beat of the bar, there may be a full root position tonic chord on the downbeat:

The Period
Two phrases are often grouped together into a unit wherein the first phrase ends with a cadence that does not sound final,and the second phrase ends with a cadence that does sound final:
Such a structure is called a period.
The first phrase, the one whose cadence doesn't sound final, is called the antecedent.
The second phrase, the one whose cadence does sound final, is called the consequent.
Generally, the antecedent begins on I and ends either on V or with an IAC; the consequent ends with a PAC.
If the antecedent ends on V, and the consequent on I, the effect may suggest a question and answer.
If the two phrases have the same or similar beginnings, the period is called a parallel period:
If the two phrases begin quite differently, the period is called a contrasting period:
A period may have one or more antecedent phrases followed by
one or more consequent phrases:

Gluck Orpheus and Eurydice
Mozart "Voi che sapete"

Sometimes the PAC of the second phrase is in another key, typically the dominant or the relative major (modulating period):
In music of the Classical era (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven), the parallel period is more common than the contrasting period.
Note that each phrase generally has two distinct parts:

Phrase Expansion
There are three ways by which a phrase may be extended in length:
1. Adding to the end of it. This usually means extending or delaying the cadence.
2. Expanding the body of the phrase. Typically done be exact or sequential repeation of a segment, or by adding material.
3. Adding introductory material.
1. Repeat the cadence.
2. Delay the PAC by first using one or more IACs.
ADDING TO THE END OF A PHRASE: Here are some ways to do this:
Mozart Piano Sonata K. 332/I
Mozart The Marriage of Figaro Act I Scene
3. Delay the PAC by first using a deceptive cadence.
Here is the opening of Cherubino's arietta (little aria) Voi che sapete from Mozart's opera the Marriage of Figaro.
Note that it is a period consisting of two antecedent phrases followed by a consequent phrase:
To end the arietta, Cherubino sings the same period as above, except that where it would normally end, Mozart has inserted a
deceptive cadence, after which Mozart repeats the consequent phrase, this time ending with a PAC.

EXPANDING THE BODY OF THE PHRASE
In the following parallel period, the antecedent phrase is 4 bars long, but the consequent phrase is 6 bars.Two additional bars have been added in the middle of the consequent phrase.

The Sentence
PRESENTATION PHRASE
The first two bars present the basic idea. It is built our of two striking ideasa rocket openingand a triplet figure.
The next two bars repeat the basic idea. The repetition in this case is not exact the notes have been altered to fit the dominant harmonybut it is otherwise essentially the same.
CONTINUATION PHRASE
The melody draws mainly on the triplet motive, which eventually disappears into a cadence. Sequence is used (mm. 5-6).
Chords change more frequently in the continuation phrase than in the presentation phrase. The music seems to be grouped in
smaller segments (structural units are shorter): the presentation phrase used two bar units, the continuation phrase begins
with one bar units. The result is a feeling of acceleration.
Consider the opening of Beethoven's piano sonata Op. 2 No. 1:
The sentence is a theme structure that is normally eight measures long.
It begins with a two measure basic idea. This basic idea is made up of a small number of distinct motives.
The two measure basic idea is then repeated, either exactly, or quite similarly.
The repetition emphasizes the basic idea and helps the listener learn and remember it.This 2 + 2 measure grouping is called the presentation phrase.
The presentation phrase is followed by a four bar continuation phrasethat ends with a clear cadence, either on V or on I.
The continuation phrase contains some or all of the following characteristics:
It often draws on only one of the motives found in the basic idea. Sometimes, it doesn't draw on any of them. The motive used gradually disappears.
Sequence is used.
Harmonic rhythm is faster, and may accelerate.
The material is seems to be grouped into smaller segments than in the presentation phrase. (Structural units are shorter.)
If a sentence ends with a half cadence, it may be repeated, the second time ending with an authentic cadence.

Small Ternary Form
The small ternary consists of three parts:
The first section (A) is a period or sentence or other similar structure. It ends with a PAC in the home key or, if the sectio modulated, in the new key.
Part two (B) is a contrasting section that typically emphasizes the dominant and ends on V Part three (A') is a restatement, often abridged, of part one. It ends with a PAC in the home key.`

Definition: Mode mixture, or simply mixture, is the use of notes or chords from the parallel major or minor.
Mixture is also known as borrowing.
IN A MINOR KEY
A piece in a minor key may end with a major tonic chord. (Notethe E in the example to the right.) The raised third is known as
a tierce de Picardie, or Picardy third. This is the main use of mode
mixture in a minor key.
.
IN A MAJOR KEY
Assuming you are in C major, each of the following measures shows the normal triad followed by the alternative triadavailable through borrowing from c minor, the parallel minor:
The most common occurences of mixture in a major key make use of b6. The b6 wants to lead to 5:
vii7 from the minor key is used to lead to I in the major key:

One sometimes finds not just a single chord, but an entire section in the parallel minor. In the Classical style, this is how the
minor tonic triad is usually used in a major key.
MODE MIXTURE AND MODULATION
A borrowed chord may act as a pivot chord in a modulation. For example:
C:Ab:
6
5
Note: When two different forms of the same note occur one afterthe other, for example 6 and b6, keep the two in the same voice,
and have the lowered note the second of the two.

Constructing Augmented 6th Chords
David Clenman 2012
There are a few different ways to construct Augmented 6th chords. They all give you the same
results, so use whichever you find easiest. Here's one.
a. Find the dominant note of whatever key you're in.
(For this example, we'll use C major.) Put it in both
treble and bass clefs:
b. In front of the treble dominant note, write the note that
is a semitone below.
(Use a different letter name for it, i.e. not Gb, but F#):
c. In front of the bass dominant note, write the note that
is a semitone above.
(Use a different letter name for it, i.e. not G#, but Ab):
Note that the interval between the two new notes
(between the Ab and F#) is an augmented 6th. All the
different types of augmented 6th chords will have
these notes. When these notes resolve, they go to
the dominant notes that you have written.
d. To make an Italian 6th, add the note that is a major 3rd
above the bottom note:

2 Constructing Augmented 6th Chords
e. To make a German 6th, start with the Italian 6th,
and add the note that is a perfect 5th above the
bottom note:
f. To make a French 6th, instead of adding a note that is
a perfect 5th above the bottom note, add a note that
is an augmented 4th above it:

Only 3 different pitches. Often used in 3-part writing. The note that's not part of the augmented 6th interval resolves down by step. In 4-part writing, always double the note that's not part of the augmented 6th invterval (in this example, the C.)
Since they can't both resolve down by step (parallel octaves!), one resolves down by step, and the other resolves up by step.If the soprano has one of them, it resolves down by step.
Sounds like a dominant 7th chord. When going to V, parallel 5ths occur. Provided they are not between the soprano and bass, they are allowed. The German 6th often goes to V 6 - 5. This gets rid of the parallel 5ths. 4 - 3

RONDO FORM
Rondo form has a recurring A section, known as the refrain, main theme, or rondo theme. Between
these A sections are contrasting sections, known as episodes or couplets.
Example:
Refrain Episode 1 Refrain Episode 2 Refrain
A B A C A
Many combinations are possible: ABACA, ABACABA, ABACADA, ABACBA, etc.
While rondos usually end with the A section, not all do. (Example: Mozart Oboe/Flute Concerto in
D/III)
Each section may itself be a smaller form, such as binary form.
REFRAIN
All statements of the refrain are in the tonic key.
The refrain is a memorable theme that clearly establishes the tonic key. Sometimes there are two or
more themes, one after the other, all in the tonic key.
The refrain ends with a PAC, providing a clear ending point.
Statements of the refrain after an episode may be abridged.
Statements of the refrain after an episode may have different accompaniment patterns.
Statements of the refrain after an episode may be embellished.
EPISODES
Episodes (with one exception noted below) are generally in different keys than the refrain. In addition,
different episodes are generally in keys different from each other.
An episode may have a clear theme structure, or may be more loosely constructed. An episode may
consist of a group of themes, all in the same key.
TRANSITIONS AND RETRANSITIONS
Episodes and statements of the refrain may have transitional passages between them. These are called
transitions when leading to an episode, and retransitions when leading back to a refrain in the tonic.
The function of a transition is to lead you from one section to another. As such, they tend to have a
restless quality and be modulatory. Use of sequence is common.
Transitions tend not to have clear theme structure. They are often without clear melodic structure, and
are frequently built out of broken chord figures, scales, or other passagework.
CODA
A rondo may end with a coda. The coda (from the Latin word for tail) is a concluding section whose
basic function is to reaffirm the tonic key in order to balance out the precedeing variety of keys. It
may also attempt to tie together elements from previous sections. A coda may be of any length.
It may state new material, and/or refer to previous material.

In the Classical era, most rondos fall into one of the two following categories:
1. five-part rondo or simple: ABACA (typically used for slow movements)
2. seven-part rondo: ABACABA (typically used for lively finales)
1. ABACA is called simple rondo or five-part rondo. The key scheme is often:
A B A C A Coda
Major I V I other I I
contrasting
minor i III i key i i
Mozart tends to use IV for the C section
Haydn tends to use the parallel minor for the C section.
2. ABACABA is called 7 part rondo. The key scheme is often:
A B A C A B A
Major I V I other I I I
contrasting
minor i III i key i i or I i
The C section is most commonly in IV, though vi and the parallel minor are common.
