#thoroughbass

[blauereiteralmanac]

...in painting, the knowledge of the thorough bass has been missing for a long time; a recognised theory of painting, as it exists in music, is lacking.

Goethe, 1807.

Complete quotation as appearing in the Blaue Reiter Almanac (1912), where it is attributed to "Goethe im Gespraech", p. 94, Insel-Verlag, 1907.

I've made over 1000 thoroughbass flashcards in the past month on my computer. Front of each of card has a chord written out in treble and bass clef and the back of the card has the figure that would produce that chord. Have many chords represented including 5/3, 6, 6/5, 6/4/2, 6/4/3, 7, and 7/6/4/2 in all of their possible positions in 8 major and 8 minor keys. If you run the set as a fast slideshow in a flashcard application, it can be challenging.
