An extended, improvisatory style section inserted near the end of

chords may be extended with more thirds. Four- @emph{seventh chords} and five
tone @emph{ninth} major chords are most often used as dominants
(@w{@ar{}@strong{functional harmony}}). A special case is chords having no
third above the lower notes to define their quality as major or minor. Such
chords are denoted open chords

music of the baroque era, has been one of the most popular polyphonic
composition methods.

@item note
ES: nota, I: nota, F: note, D: Note, NL: noot, DK: node, S: not, N: ,

Notes are signs by means of which music is fixed in writing. The term is also
used for the sound indicated by a note, and even for the key of the piano
which produces the sound. However, a clear distinction between the terms tone
and @w{@ar{}@strong{note}} is strongly recommended. Briefly, one sees a note,
and hears a tone.

@item note head

@w{@ar{}@strong{staff}} provided with a @w{@ar{}@strong{clef}}, and duration
by a variety of shapes such as hollow or black heads with or without
@w{@ar{}@strong{stem}}s, @w{@ar{}@strong{flag}}s etc. For percussion
instruments (often having no defined pitch) the note head may indicate the
instrument.

@item note value
ES: valor, I: valore, durata, F: dur@'ee, valeur (d'une note), D: Notenwert, NL:
nootwaarde, DK nodev@ae{}rdi, S: notv@"arde, N: .

Note values (durations) are measured as fractions, normally 1/2, of the next
higher note value. The longest duration normally used is called @emph{brevis},
but sometimes (mostly in pre baroque music) the double length note value
@emph{longa} is used.

Alternatively note values may be subdivided by other ratios. Most common is
subdivision by 3 (@emph{triplets}) and 5 (@emph{quintuplets}). Subdivisions by

with certain modifications however. The exposition contains a number of themes
which fall into two groups, often called first and second subject. Other
melodies occurring in each group are considered as continuations of these
two. The second theme is in another key, normally in the key of the
@w{@ar{}@strong{dominant}} if the @w{@ar{}@strong{tonic}} is
