The solutions should be musical, and are to be written over and over again
until such are secured.

All cadences of the second, third and fourth species, or any combination of
these, may be used.

LESSON X

FLORID COUNTERPOINT (Continued)


When florid counterpoint is combined with other than first species, the
dotted half followed by a quarter-note (_a_), or two eighth-notes (_b_),
is good. Also, a rhythmic figure, as at _c_, where a half-note occupies the
second and third quarters, may be used. [Fig. 84.]
