[Smt-talk] Fwd: First Species Question

> It would be interesting to know where this prohibition came from.

Having no expertise in the history of theory, but having taught  
undergrad harmony for 15 years, I think I can field this one. I assume  
that the prohibition comes from workaday theory teachers who were sick  
of students correcting parallel fifths with this cheap fix which,  
while it may be present in the repertoire, is pretty rare because of  
the resulting prevalent skippiness of the parts, presumably.
