Brainlag Music
Brainlag MusicThe soprano first
Writing the soprano of a realisation as a melody, before the inner parts.
A melody over the bass
Write the soprano first, as a melody: mostly by step, with a shape and a high point, and the right note at each cadence (the tonic over a perfect cadence, often the supertonic or leading note over an imperfect one). Move it against the bass, in contrary motion where you can.
