As I think about that last long exercise, keep in mind it can be a work in progress, as the knowledge in our next lesson will definitely help you.

I also have Sarabande listening homework! These two Sarabandes are among the most beautiful I have heard, as well as being excellent performances. Please listen to them carefully; enjoy but also notice the chromatic harmony:

1. Track 13 of Janine Johnson: J.S. Bach Works For Harpsichord

This is by Bach and has its fair share of secondary dominants and secondary leading tones.

2. Track 6 of Trevor Pinnock: Rameau - Les Cyclopes

A very difficult but exquisite piece by Rameau filled with exotic harmonies and ornaments in the French style.



Feel free to ask any questions or request particular topics as our lessons continue! I would appreciate, in addition to homework, just comments on your general opinion of the concepts I am teaching.
