Chapter five discusses methods and techniques of melodic prolongation that was

briefly mentioned in the previous chapters. This chapter refers to the melodic
prolongations as a delay in the appearance of the primary tones,
The Initial ascent refers to the rising or ascending progression that leads to the
first pitch in the descending progression referred to as the Urlinie. The first note of
the ascending line or progression is often considered to be tonic pitch that ascends
in stepwise motion to the primary tone and the first pitch of the fundamental line.
Arpeggiated Ascent is as the name suggests, an arpeggiated linear progression
that is of course ascending to the primary pitch of the Urlinie. This arpeggiation may
vary based on the starting pitch and the ending pitch which may either be 3 or 5.
The arpeggiated ascent must consist of members of the tonic triad.
Unfolding is the relation between two voices who move in similar or equal patterns
that ultimately results in a two-note chord in both voices. The pitches in this two
noted chord are sounded one after the other and should form a completed triad or
chord with the other voice. (I have questions where it concerns the inner
voices of this techniques)
Motion into an Inner voice this occurs when the melody occupies two voices by
starting on a top voice and moving to the inner voice by stepwise motion or leaps.
Less often this occurs where the melody starts in the bass voice then switches to
the tenor voice.
