Using the rhythm template from module 3, I’ve been writing etudes that contain a few of the enclosures that I’ve had a hard time making sound good, such as enclosing the b7 with a 6 and a major 7, enclosing the 1 with a b2 and a major 7, or enclosing the 5 with a b5 and a b6. Tempo, rhythm, and phrasing are so important with these types of enclosures, and I think I am starting to feel them a bit better now.
In the audio below, you can hear these trickier enclosures in measures 4 and 9 (enclosing 1 with a b2 and a major 7), measures 7 and 11 (enclosing 5 with b6 and b5).
Hi Matt,
It sounds really good! Most players, myself included, try to stay away from enclosures that have a non diatonic note above the chord tone when playing at slow tempos. Like you said…the rhythm and phrasing is very important. Great rhythm and phrasing can make even the most dissonant note sound intentional!
