69.11Level 4 — four-way close
Now we introduce classic block-chord logic.
Take a melody note on top.
Fill three voices underneath so all four voices fit roughly within an octave.
For C6 harmony, suppose melody is:
A.
A C E G can be arranged beneath/top depending inversion.
One close-position example:
C-E-G-A.
A remains melody.
