Open Score Format or Standard Bar-Over-Bar?

[Robert Dietrich]

Hello Kathleen:

I have an excerpt from a piece of music that asks the student for harmonic analysis. Should I transcribe the excerpt in open score format in order to facilitate the analysis by the student, or should I transcribe the excerpt in standard bar-over-bar format and let the student do the breakdown for the analysis?

Thanks for your input,

Robert

Hi Robert,

Apologies for the late reply.

I usually do open score for analyses like this.

You can label the parts SATB or two right hands and two left hands or two treble clefs and two bass clefs. Your choice - just be consistent!
