Descending stepwise motion spanning supermajor thirds (major 3-steps) are effective small resting points. ''Ascending'' stepwise motion is less stable unless you can make the context stabilize the supermajor third above the basepoint. | Descending stepwise motion spanning supermajor thirds (major 3-steps) are effective small resting points. ''Ascending'' stepwise motion is less stable unless you can make the context stabilize the supermajor third above the basepoint (e.g. as the tonic, or part of a supermajor triad sonority). | ||
