Complexity : 3/10 (Simple to Intermediate)
An escape note (or echapee) is a rare example of a non-harmonic tone that resolves by leap.
It is approached by step and then skips a 3rd in the opposite direction. It is, therefore, a non-harmonic tone that occurs between two consonant tones a diatonic step apart.
RULE
- They are never accented.

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.
