Hello list,
do you know the name for the music theoretical voice progression which can be
seen in this picture?
The lower voice in the second cord is higher than the higher voice in the first
chord. Second measure shows the same, inverted.
The German term is "Niveau-Überschreitung" or "Niveau-Unterschreitung" which
means something like going above or falling below a level.
I don't know an English term for it, apart from 'overlapping parts' --
strict harmony books usually advise against it, at least for passing
4-part harmony exams!
The really strict would also whinge about the first chord measure 2,
saying that if any part proceeds by an interval greater than a 5th (as
in measure 1), its next note should fall within that interval.
