At [Fig. 102a], the accidental harmony f-a-c is on the weak beat. The f and a, being foreign to the chord c-e-g on the strong beat, are correctly treated as dissonances. At b, the f and a are left by skip, which is not permitted.
The second species may be written continuously in all parts; the tones appearing on the weak beat must be harmonically related to one another, and those foreign to the chord on the strong beat must be treated as dissonances. [[Fig. 103.]]
| Fig. 103. |
The first and second species may be mixed, as in [Fig. 104.]
| Fig. 104. |
The cadences in [Fig. 105] are good, and will suggest others. Those with first species in all parts may also be used.
