Question

In Galant schemata, a Prinner’s longer third stage often features this non-chord tone in an upper voice. In Fenaroli’s rules of partimento, these are the only dissonances, which Vincenzo Galilei called “essential.” The second movement (15[1])of Corelli’s Christmas Concerto has a continuous chain of these dissonances. (15[1])Two voices in oblique motion are staggered by a half-bar syncope in fourth-species counterpoint, which is based on these dissonances that Fux called “ligature.” (15[1])Figured basses may notate these dissonances with a (*) horizontal line (10[2])between two numbers. Unlike retardations, which resolve upward, and appoggiaturas, which approach unprepared by leap, these on-beat non-chord tones prolong or repeat a prior note, resolve down by (10[1])step, (10[1])and come in 9–8 (10[1])or 4–3 types. (10[1])A triad’s third is displaced for a fourth or second in chords of this name. (10[2])For 10 points, (10[1])what chords with an open, quartal sound and 3-letter pop-music abbreviation (10[1])may hang before belatedly resolving? ■END■ (10[1]0[2])
