...Diego Cubero The concept of prolongation in Schenkerian analysis broadly describes the elaboration of a vertical sonority. Among the most basic ways to prolong a chord is by arpeggiating it, such that it governs the time span of its arpeggiation. In Heinrich Schenker's writings, however...

... of the Ursatz, those with octave lines are not susceptible to interruption.4 They also admit no first order neighbor notes, and (contrary to what one might expect) Schenker says they offer no special opportunities for mixture.5 Furthermore, Schenker neither dis- cusses nor illustrates first-order arpeggiation...

... part, which contains the stable lower voice. Example 5b shows the voice leading including the structural bass notes. The soprano arpeggiates twice from G1 to B≤2. In the first case the tonic returns on G2, before the arpeggiation is complete. In the second case the arpeggiation is accelerated, so...

... procedures that produce triadic unfolding: linear (step- wise) motion and chordal (arpeggiated) motion. Commonalities, in other words, necessarily and automatically, link all pieces subjected to such analysis. So at what point, then, can one claim, as does Beach, that a work’s voice leading...

.... In the chorus of “Armageddon,” mm. 3–5 (Table 3c), a progression from tonic (B≤m7) to subdominant (E≤7) is divided in the foreground by a chromatic chord: B≤m7 G≤7 E≤7. In “Prince of Darkness,” mm. 1–7 (Example­­ 5), the bass roots arpeggiate the G-minor tonic triad with parallel structures on each...
