|
HR |
- too many strong chord changes per measure
- harmonic rhythm is not appropriate to the time signature
- components of the cadential 6/4 construction are separated by a bar line
- avoid repeating a bass note or a chord of similar function over a bar line
- strong chord change on the weak beat causes unwanted syncopation |
|
5 ? 4 ? |
5ths and/or 4ths are not given proper treatment |
|

augmented leap: tritone |
(x4) |
hidden tritone |
|
leading note does not resolve |
end on/ending |
end the melody/soprano line on the tonic |
LEAP |

- let the line move a step rather than a 7th in the other direction |
|
passing note has been left by leap |
RES? |
- this “tendency tone” should resolve in this direction
- 7th of the V7 chord is not resolved
