Quite simply, now join all the species together in one big mixture.! New term: Échappée - jumping off a suspension to a note one step higher then resolving normally (i.e. followed by a jump of a third down, after a step up). Stylistic issues to try to remember: Start with large note values and have a crescendo in rhythm as the piece goes on. End with a suspension which resolves to a stepwise cadence. Quavers (eighth notes) should only be used either to embellish the resolution of a suspension, or going in one direction and filling in the leap of a fourth. Quavers (eighth notes) should not be used too much. They should only be used as embellishments or as part of a neighbour note figure and should only appear at weak points in the bar.
