Anticipations #26

Open allorens opened 4 years ago

allorens commented 4 years ago

Are you considering indicating anticipations in a way they can be distinguished from suspensions?

For instance in b. 82 in this example (main key is Bb major but the B section, to which this excerpt belongs, is in g minor and ends with a cadence on the minor dominant). How would you tell the annotators to indicate the D in the vocal part is an anticipation?

I think the general stance is to separate structural notes (chord and non-chord tones) from ornamentations. In that sense, we would not annotate the anticipatory (thus ornamental) D and probably neither the appoggiatora (unless the thorough bass had a 4).

On a different note, wouldn't the It in D minor consist of the notes G#, Bb, and D? May I suggest to consider this chord as a Neapolitan and the C# as an anticipation?
