Example of the hit song ingredients Code and Pedal Bass


The brilliant Cenerentola - Martinelli


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dS968ofxm3E


Full of Code. There are 4ths above the bass 6ths etc, very like what for example Vivaldi was doing.


Pedal Bass is at the introduction and begging of chorus.


The song is written in D minor ie Re minore. So any B is B flat.


The introduction or chorus start with F major ie Fa magore.


Below are the lyrics of the chorus and we see the point in time where the harmony changes.


This (bass F, harmony A C F) must be the night


Cindere- (bass F, harmony B D G) -la is in the light


Oh now can't (bass E, harmony G C E) you see her eyes


In Bach's figured bass notation the progression should be F then  F 2 4 6 then E 6


Are the brilliant synthesizers used based on the M112 SGS Thompson sound generator chip developed by Italy and France? Is a Solton Kentron programmer synth used?
