Project 33

Invent some structures using simultaneous staccato and legato. Keep in mind that the individual lines need not be as

thematically important as are the two themes in the above example. In a homophonic texture, the accompaniment could be quite subordinate, and still supply a very vital staccato element against a legato melody; or there could be a legato accompaniment against a staccato melody.
