Monospaced font. -a--------------d---|-----f-d-r----- -a-----d-b-a----a---|-b---------e--- -b-----a---b-d------|-b-------d-f--- -----r--------------|-----------e--- --------------------|-d---------r--- -a---------a--------|--------------- I read Measure 1 3rd quarter: G - d' (fifth) 4th quarter: G - b-flat' (third) Measure 2 1st quarter: e-flat - b-flat' (fifth) I don't hear the parallel fifth from measure 1 3rd quarter to measure 2 1st quarter. I hear the third on the 4th quarter being held into the fifth. And how is it corrected in LoST or the song, for that matter)? I see the same sequence, transposed up a tone. How I hear this spot The b-flat on the 1st quarter note of measure 2 is held over from measure 1 (3rd finger, play the E-flat chord with a barre and 2nd finger on the 5th course), I always try to play the chord softly so the melody is clearly sustained. I hear harmonic tension from bass note e-flat (with passing a' on top: tritonus!) to d in measure 2, I hear middle voice rising all the way from g halfway measure 1 to halfway measure 2, joining the top voice on the final f-sharp'. Added interest in new middle voice in measure 2 b-flat rising to d'. Such a rich writing; all of that in just the two opening measures!
