Q

suspensions

A
  • these become mixed with other types of embellishments and ten to appear at cadential moments
  • we still expect to see the 4-3, 7-6, and 9-8 suspensions in upper voice and the 2-3 in the bass
  • less attention is now paid to consonant suspensions because they do not require preparation or resolution
  • with differences in meter, suspensions do not require ties
