Complexity : 6/10 (intermediate to advanced)
Chromatic notes that may be used to join up two notes that are a major 2nd apart of some greater distance than this.
If a passage begins with chromatic passing notes, it should continue with them until the harmony note is reached.
- A 4-note figure combining a chromatic passing note with an appoggiatura is sometimes met with. The first and last notes are harmony notes a major 2nd apart. (eg. D, D#, F, E)

This blog is a summarized understanding of music composition theory as I have gathered from various sources over the past few years. It is meant for musicians who understand the basics of music notation, intervals, scales etc. It is not necessarily in a fixed order, it is rather a random collection of various musical subjects in varying degrees of complexity. The key sources are the works of William Lovelock, Walter Piston, Kent Kennan and several sources on the Internet.
