Harmonic progressions JCF Bach
on: January 30, 2011, 04:00:12 PM
I have attached two pages of Allegro in G+ by JCF Bach.  I am trying to study harmony and I would really appreciate it if someone could look it over and tell me if I am on the right track.  Thankyou so much.  (Maybe I should be quiver instead of quaver). :)

Looks like you did a good job.  In the first green circled you missed the Vb in the third beat. I'll play through later.  Looks fun.  Will sound great on my clavichord!

Thanks so much.  Would you agree however that G major would have re-appeared (must be a more technical word) at measure 21 instead of measure 22.  So measure 21 would read V6/5 on the first beat and tonic chord on the third beat.  Also measures 18, 19, 20 are all i chord of a minor.  Is this usual for a chord to last three measures.  Just curious.  Thanks for helping me out.  Measure 32 shoud have been 1st inversion, thanks for pointing that out.  I have now corrected it.  Gracie tanti. :D

I would say the fifth note RH in bar 20 is V in G.  Bar 18 is I-V in a, 19 I-V-I.  This is a delightful piece, not very consummate though so you need to work out what he's trying to do with the harmony and then bring it out.
