I've finished the homework (phew). It was much more difficult than the first, but I've learned a lot. There are some not-really-necessary 10ths between the tenor and bass but it was easier for me to look it over.
Just a few questions:
1. When doubling the root of a chord, is there any influance in strength or stability which note is the doubled one (soprano, alto, tenor)?
2. Is it always necessary to keep the bass as far as possible from the tenor?
3. Can I double the 3rd of the IV in an imperfect cadence in major mode? (in the E major part of the homework, may the tenor go from c# to d# instead of e to d#?)
4. Is it possible to create an imperfect cadence in minor mode starting with root positioned IV ? (I haven't managed to do it.)
I don't know if my last F sharp minor imperfect cadence is good, but I was impressed how easily can a dissonant diminished chord go to a consonant one. Now I start to realize why it is important to learn how to use 7th and diminished chords correctly. Voice-leading can be much easier and more continuous with them. (Please, correct me if I am wrong.)
