The fifth, when in the lower part, may be used on any but the first
quarter, provided it is treated as a passing-tone, e.g., approached and
left by stepwise progression in one direction.

[Illustration: Fig. 46.]

Consecutive fifths and octaves are forbidden when appearing on the accented
beats of successive measures; between prominent notes of successive
measures not more than four quarters apart; and between a prominent note of
one measure and the first quarter of the next. [Fig. 47.]

Oblique motion to the unison is bad. It is permitted if it continues in the
same direction through the unison. [Fig. 48.]

[Illustration: Fig. 48.]

The unison may be used on any but the first quarter of a measure.

Frequent repetition of a figure as in Fig. 49 is not good.

The embellishment may be used either above or below, whether a semitone or
a whole tone; but when it is a whole tone below, it is most satisfactory as
the ninth of the implied chord. [Fig. 50.]
