Hello Matt,
I've managed to read the whole lesson (4 or 5 times), and I must say your harmonization of the chorale is great and sounds like Bach! Although the harmonization of the minuet is unclear to me. Some notes are not harmonized (2nd note of bar 3 and bar 7), and there are paralell octaves, however between different instruments (S-T bar 1 paralell, T-B bar 2 contrary). Are these allowed by the classical style, so could I use them in my later work? (I'm not against parallells)
I have also problems with the homework. I've already started the harmonization (of the G maj h/w) by writing in the bass:
G | C | D | G || G | ? | A | D ||
I don't know what to do with the 6th measure. It have a raised leading note suggesting dominant harmony (leading to D major), while the scale istelf suggests tonic harmony (D C# B A) because C# is just a passing note. (?) I have no clue how to reach that new tonic.
Btw I've just realized that I have almost zero knowledge about instrumental music, so it may be a little harder for me to understand how it works, but I will do my best.
Thanks!
Máté
