TABLES

The following figures arise out of the analysis:-

total number of beats notated 183
number of beats with magadising 124
number of beats with crotchet passing notes in melody 3
number of beats with concordance 56

The last figure is for the number of beats without octaves between bass and treble and yet
harmonising as part of the hypothetical triad. The figure can be divided under the subheading
of the kinds of intervals used to create non-octaves

3rds
5ths
6ths
4ths
