The judgment of the composeras to the effect he wishes to produce is the only guide ; but pupils shouldavoid this class of successions until they have thoroughly learned allthose that are smooth and natural. ?_* UL -L ML HARMONY. 17 There is one other progression that should be avoided; viz., fromthe subdominant to the dominant, except the subdominant is in theeighth and the dominant in the fifth or third position, thus : 5 3 N. B. The above remarks must beunderstood as applying only to suc-cessions of chords in Positions; i. e.,I ^-1 ^z: fg—^—<g II with their roots at the Common chords are frequently written in what are called Sequen-ces ( following). In a sequence the roots move in a regular order or pattern, for example :. ^ &. P- up four, down three. The result is three pairs of chords, each onedegree higher than the last. The most usual sequences are here given, both ascending and de-scending. The pupil should write them in various keys and shouldalso exercise his ingenuity in constructing others.
