This view of harmony is, responsible for many of the newer and mostderived beautiful chords in the modern technique, for mostHori- of these found their way first into the vocabularyby means of passing chords. In Hegars part-song, we find the diminished octave thus introduced, whilstin the Grieg Funeral March, we have one of the rarer formsof the augmented sixth chord. Ex. 307. Vivace. HEGAR, , GRIEG, Ases TodAndante doloroso. ^^ x^^ I (Orch.) [, ^ A horizontal listening will also explain the followingexamples, although the second chord in Elgar may beregarded as a use of the minor ninth together with the root,thus constituting a minor continuation of the idea seen inExample 297 (p. 135).
