VII. A suspension always resolves on the chord overwhich it is suspended; but it is by no means unusual for thechord to change its position on the resolution of the suspension,as in the following example: Bach. Matthaus — 6 — Here the G in the last bar of the alto is a ninth suspended overthe root position of the chord of F minor. At the moment ofresolution the bass goes to A flat, and the suspension is resolvedon the first inversion of the same chord. The student willhardly need to be reminded that G and B in the bass are passing 148 Harmony. [Chap. XI. notes. But if the root of the chord changes at the moment ofresolution, the preceding chord is not really a suspension. 344. It was said just now (§ 336) that any note of a chordcan be suspended over the next chord, provided it can move bystep to a note of that chord. But to this general rule there arecertain practical limitations. £x, 266. S (a) !^ , {i)
