In examining the preceding Example, it will be noted that at (a) the CommonChord of C in the Octave Position is followed by the Common Chord of G, also in theOctave Position. At (b) the awkwardness of such a succession is corrected by the useof the Common Chord of G in the Third Position. At (c) two Fifth Positions appeniin succession.

At (b) the awkwardness of such a succession is corrected by the useof the Common Chord of G in the Third Position. At (c) two Fifth Positions appeniin succession. Note how much better the same Chords sound as written at (d). Trainthe ear as well as the eye. Just another Principle: Notes common to two chords written in succession shouldbe retained in the same parts or voices, wherever convenient. A study of the following example will make this Principle clear:. At (a) C is the Root of the C Major Chord and the Third of the A Minor Chord;it is retained in the upper voice. E is the Third of the C Major Chord and the Fifthof the A Minor Chord; this note is also retained in the same voice. At (b) G iscommon to both chords. At (c) C is common to both chords.

It will beobserved that no two chords are used in succession in the same position. Notes com-mon to two successive chords are retained, except at (a). The following exercises should be harmonized by the student. Write out eachexercise complete, then try it over and listen ca
