The Alberti bass
The Alberti bass is a simple, repeated pattern often found in the bass in classical-era music. It takes
the triad on which the harmony is based and breaks it up into a low-high-middle-high pattern:
Some variations are possible, but there are some things that shouldn't be changed:
1. Always start with the lowest note.
2. Always use 3 notes.
3. Always use chord tones.
Following these rules doesn't leave a lot of scope for variations, but here are a couple:
Bars 1-2 use low-high-middle-high followed by middle-high-middle-high, while bars 3 and 4 use
low-middle-high-middle followed by high-middle-high-middle.
