This impression is reinforced by the presence of sustained appoggiaturas on downbeats in the melody, which challenge the 1 chord in all but its first statement (m. 3: D-C#; m. 5: B-A; m. 7: G-E, forming the third-chain D-A-G). By contrast, the downbeats of measures containing the (5) chord tend to r ...

Figured bass
Figured bass, or thoroughbass, is a kind of musical notation in which numerals and symbols indicate intervals, chords, and non-chord tones, in relation to the bass note they are placed above or below. Figured bass is closely associated with basso continuo, a historically improvised accompaniment used in almost all genres of music in the Baroque period, though rarely in modern music.Other systems for denoting or representing chords include plain staff notation, used in classical music; Roman numerals, commonly used in harmonic analysis;macro symbols, sometimes used in modern musicology; the Nashville number system; and various names and symbols used in jazz and popular music.
