Occasional exceptionsfrom this general rule are to be found, as in the following passage— Bebthovkn. Mass in D. Ex. 261. where a suspended crotchet is prepared by a quaver, but thestudent is advised to adhere strictly to the rule here given. 341. V. The note on which a suspension resolves maybesounded at a distance of at least an octave below the suspension;but should not be heard above it, excepting when it is approached. Chap. XI.] SirSISNS/ONS. 147 by step, and in contrary motion ; (a) Not good. (i) Good. Ex. 262. m r^ m r^ r I -s r This exception is illustrated in Ex. 261, where the D in theupper part, on which the suspended E in the middle of theharmony resolves, is approached from C. 342. VI. As a suspension is only a temporary substitute forthe harmony note which follows it, a progression which wouldbe incorrect without a suspension is not justified thereby. For example,
