Question 24

suspension with change of bass

Answer 24

when a suspicion occurs in one of the upper voices, the bass will sometimes move on to another chord at the same time as the suspension resolves.
ex.a 7-6 suspension might become a 7-3 suspension because of movement in the bass

chain of suspensions

when the resolution of one suspension serves as the preparation for another

A leap or skip is a movement from one note to another in a scale which is greater than a step.

The distance between any two pitches that are TWO half steps apart is called a WHOLE STEP. So the interval, or distance, between F and G is a whole step.

Question 36

9-8, 7-6, 4-3, 2-3

Answer 36

approached by same note, resolved by a step ex. 4-# (4-3) (#= raise 3rd above), raise leading tone if the key is minor because it's a 4-3 you raise a 4th above root instead of having a third note and then step down to 3) you determine it from the resolution (second resolving chord) and what interval is above that bassnote
