1c. Left-hand low range

Broken close-position chords in low ranges present entirely new difficulties not associated with those in the middle register. Chords in this category will need redistribution retaining the rhythmic element and tessitura of the lowest bass notes. These changes can be examined by comparing the parts (3, 4, 5) with the original chord positions. Added harmonic fillers (1) are worthy of part interest whenever possible. Their design and movement will be influenced by the context of the passage. {Musical context, as used here, includes all pertinent elements of style, texture, phrasing, and dynamics which can influence a presentation.) Intentional octave passages (6) should remain free of harmonizations.
