Chapter 14 - Harmonic Composition 2: The Process

• Correct chord members

• Resolutions (including holding the chordal seventh on Ab until it can resolve to G)

• Double the fifth in 6/4 chords

• No parallel fifths or eights

• Spacing

• Omitting the accidental

• Spelling the chord incorrectly (not putting the sharp sign)

• Omitting the root

• Parallel fifths between the bass and tenor

then the tonic chord will have three roots, one third, and no fifth.

then that will lead you to a complete tonic triad.
