[Smt-talk] Fwd: First Species Question

[Timothy Cutler]

For more examples along these lines, I have an article in a recent Music
Theory Online that discusses a dissonant perfect unsion (!) by J. S. Bach.

"Another mildly related situation occurs with dyadic definitions of
dissonance such as "The Perfect 5th is a consonance." However, in a six-five
chord a perfect fifth usually represents the dissonant chordal seventh in
18th- and 19th-century music. Atomistic and rigid definitions and
perceptions seem  to run into difficulties when applied to phenomena in the
wild. They do have the mixed blessing of being easy to teach and learn.
