2 in front or 2 in the back?
Atriad is a three-legged animal, and one never knows whether it has 2 hind legs (Primary Notes, and called a Real
Triad) or 2 fore legs (Secondary Notes, and called a Deceptive Triad). The Real Triad
can jump much farther.
Analysis
It is evidently of the utmost importance to know what kind of triad we are dealing
with, which implies knowing the tetrad of which it is a part. Only the information
of thecomplete animalwill enable (a) the proper doubling and (b) the proper voice-leading. The context
will evidently be the source guiding us to the proper complete tetrad.
