9469 / 18210 · Workshop 78 — Upper-Structure Voice Leading in Motion: Keeping Rich Extensions Smooth Across Chords Instead of Treating Each Voicing as a Separate Shape← prev⊞ allnext →
78.3The goal
We want to preserve:
Core identity
3rd and 7th.
Important color
perhaps 9/13/♯11.
Smooth paths
common tones and semitone motion.
Not every available extension.
