LESSON 1 BINARY & TERNARY FORM Ø There are three types of binary forms, rounded binary, balanced binary, and simple binary. They all consist of two parts, with both parts normally repeated and ending with a cadence. This image is an example of a melody written in binary form It begins in A minor in the A section., and modulates in the B section to C major, the related major key. https://phamoxmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Binary-Form-Bourre-by-bach.jpg Ø The rounded binary form begins with a repeated A section, followed by a contrasting B section, which comes before the reinstated section A that is sometimes varied. The beginning of section A normally starts on the tonic and ends in the tonic Key that could be a half cadence. The B section can begin in a key other than the tonic or employ other techniques to emphasize the contrast. The return of section A takes place in the tonic key and ends with a cadence in the home key. In this image of the bin...
ENTRY 8 Figured Bass and Lead-Sheet Symbols * Triads can be arranged in three positions and these are called root position, first inversion and second inversion. These inversions can be identified in figured bass and lead-sheet with the use of various symbols. * Having a triad in root position, the root note is in the bass, for example, the C major triad, in root position the C would be the bass note with E and G above it. This is made up of a major third and a perfect fifth from the bass note. The symbol used in this inversion for figured bass is 5/3 and the lead-sheet, a capital C . * The first inversion would have the third degree of the triad in the bass, for example, using C major E would be in the bass with G and C above it. This is made up with a minor third and a minor sixth from the bass note. In this inversion, the figured bass used 6 or 6/3 and the lead-sheet used C/E. * In the second inversion, the fifth degree of the triad is in the bass with ...
LESSON 5 NEAPOLITAN SIXTH Ø The Neapolitan 6 th chord is a chromatic, flattened supertonic chord , written in its 1st inversion and distinct in its sound. The image on the left displays the second scale degree chord as it appears in a minor scale, a diminished chord, and on the right, the same chord but as a lower second scale degree in 1 st inversion. https://viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/chapter/bii6/#:~:text=The%20Neapolitan%20sixth%20%28%E2%99%ADII6%29%20%28%E2%99%AD%20I%20I%206%29,of%20a%20iio6%20i%20i%20o%206%20chord . Ø The Neapolitan 6 th chord mainly comes from the second scale degree of the minor scale as a diminished chord. Having the 2 nd degree lower by a semitone, it transforms into a major chord. This image displays the function of the chords as it appears just before a fully diminished 7th chord which is before the dominant. https://viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/chapter/bii6/#:~:text=The%20Neapo...
