TABLES MS20 ff8v-9r
The following figures arise out of the analysis:-
total number of beats notated 120
number of 3rds/6ths in treble 1
number of triads in treble 3
number of single bass notes 40
number of bass octave chords 8
number of bass chords of a 4th & 5th 0
number of bass chords of a 5th 10
number of bass triads 4
number of beats with (falling) staggered octaves between main bass note & treble 36
number of beats with passing notes in melody 1
number of beats with no simultaneously struck bass & treble 76
number of beats with simultaneous octaves between main bass note & treble 24
number of beats with non-octave concordance between main bass note & treble 19
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.
