ABSTRACT
The other possibility for stepwise chromaticism is the chromatic passing tone, which comes in two varieties, both of which can be seen in Example 6.2. In the first type of chromatic passing tone, the chromatic pitch lies between two adjacent diatonic pitches; F passes between F and G, which are adjacent scale degrees in the key of C major. In the second type, a diatonic pitch is replaced by its own chromatic variant; B replaces the diatonic B in passing motion between C and A.
