Counterpoint applied in the invention, fugue, canon and other polyphonic forms : an exhaustive treatise on the structural and formal details of the polyphonic or contrapuntal forms of music, for the use of general and special students of music . therelations adopted at the beginning should be, as a rule, maintained uniformly through-out the chorale; therefore it is usually necessary to experiment repeatedly with thewhole, before valid relations can be determined; and it is not considered unpermissi-ve, in case the advantage is manifest, to adopt new relations for a new Section (oreven for some single line) of the chorale. It is greatly preferable, however, to over-come the necessity for such changes of canonic relation by judicious (slight) rhythmicmodification, or strictly unessential melodic embellishment, of the chorale-melody,in the manner shown in Ex. 125.

The innerparts are thematic, as in the Invention with chorale (par. 99), preceding theLeader by two measures. *4) Canonic parts are Soprano and Tenor; Pedal independent; Alto pursuesconstantly a Figure of its own ; comp. pars. 93, 96. 211. The parts which accompany the canonic voices are in a sensetheir auxiliaries, but should be strictly contrapuntal, and thematic(based upon some Motive or Motives), as described in par. 92, whichreview.
