This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming.
While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce
this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the
quality of the material submitted.
1. The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document
photographed is “Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing
page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This
may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages
to assure complete continuity.
3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed,
a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is
customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to
continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. I f necessary,
sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on
until complete.
5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best
available copy has been filmed.

Therefore passing chords are secondary
chords, in which one or more voices move
stepwise through a consonant progression from
the fundamental chord preceding it to the
fundamental chord following. They always
stand between two fundamental chords, which
are either the same chord or two that follow
each other naturally. Thus they can also
only occur on weak beats, because every chord
which appears on a strong beat gives the
feeling that it is by necessity a fundamen
tal.

durchgehende Accorde Zwischenaccorde, bei
denen ein oder mehrere Stimmen durch eine

folgenden Grundaccord iibergehen. Sie stehen
allezeit zwischen zweien Grundaccorden, die
entweder dieselben sind, oder doch sehr
natlirlich auf einander folgen. Sie konnen
daher auch nur auf schlechten Taktzeiten
vorkommen weil bei jedem auf e i n e r #guten

basis of his studies and his activities as a

with the nonessential and accidental notes.

diatonische Satz, Dur Oder Moll, ist die
Mutter aller gewunden einfachen Melodie und
ist das Bild einer Familie, wo jedes Glied
derselben an seinem Platze ist und zu rechter
Zeit erscheint.
Die diatonische Tonwechslung fuhrt
verschiedene verwandte Familien nach einander
vor.
Der chromatische Satz, ob die Haupt-
tonica Dur oder Moll ist, macht die Melodie
reicher, besonders aber leidenschaftlicher,
und ist das Bild mehrerer verwandten Familien
unter einem gemeinschaftlichen Oberhaupte
vereinigt.
Die enharmonischen Verwechslungen in der
weitesten Ausdehnung sind die nat'urlichen
Feinde der gesunden Melodie, dafur ist ihre
Wirkung geheimnissvoll und tiberraschend. Sie
sind das Bild der grossen Welt, worin das
Familienleben untergeht und wo die Tausch-
ungen haufig vorkommen, und auch das
Unwichtige in einem gewissen Glanze erscheint;
dafur aber kann man dabei nicht erkennen, was

This idea is not new with Kurth. It was
suggested as much as two centuries earlier by Vicentino
and also by Kepler. In his Harmonice Mundi Kepler
classified major thirds as masculine and minor ones as
feminine, supporting his viewpoint by both mathematical
and empirical reasoning. See Daniel P. Walker, Studies
