- States theme, imitates at same pitch in other voice
- Restates theme in the dominant, imitates at the same pitch in different voice
- Limited number of different rhythms
- Sections where both voices are busy (semiquavers), but usually one less busy than the other
- Voices often in apart by 3rds and 6th's
- Use of all types of motion - contrary, similar, oblique
- Both voices state melodic ideas
- Use of long / multiple rests in one voice, especially at the beginning when the theme is being stated
- Contrasting articulation
- Constant movement from beginning to end
Without getting bogged down with in-depth analysis of Bach's work, I think I can use some or all of the elements above in my composition for assignment three, which will help to create unity, interest, and clean, independent melodic lines.
