On Prepared pair of dissonant notes to listener's brain

This happened yesterday while playing with Vicky the simple harmony in the key of E minor (all F sharp).


E
B
D
A


ie


B E G
B D F (remember F is sharp)
A D F
A C E


Vicky while trying to learn to play it by ear she accidentally played

B E G
B E F
A E F
A D E


So harmony became:


B E G
B E F to B D F
A E F to A D F
A D E to A C E


Such sounds brilliant and out of this world. Especially when sung by a choir.


The pair of E F can be thought as prepared pair of dissonance expanding on (Bach, Niedt)'s Bach Bass Rules.


Remember on above example all F are F sharp otherwise it sounds nonsense.
