passing notes
)
Accented and unaccented passing notes.
| In music, notes joining two notes a third apart, by conjunct motion; they are therefore always approached and quitted by step. They do not form part of the harmony. An unaccented passing note falls on a strong beat, creating a momentary dissonance. |
