Brainlag Music

What the composer does

Music theory, Melody, rhythm and form, 15 minutes

Four devices you will be asked to find in a score: a sequence, a pedal, imitation and syncopation.

Sequence

One figure, then the same figure a step lower, and again

A sequence repeats a short figure straight away, in the same part, starting on a different note.

More on this

Here each repeat starts a step lower. A sequence drives the music on while keeping it unified.

The rest of this lesson and its 5 practice questions are in Brainlag Music Theory.
