Brainlag Music
Brainlag MusicPlanning a long bass
Reading a longer figured bass in advance: the cadences and the sevenths marked before a note is written.
Plan first
Before writing any note:
- Name every chord from its bass and figures.
- Mark the cadences, where each phrase ends.
- Mark every 7th: it must fall by step to the next chord.
- Mark any six-four: cadential, passing or auxiliary.
