Editing Schenkerian analysis (section)

===Arpeggiation, neighbour note, passing note===
Arpeggiation is the simplest form of elaboration. It delimits a tonal space for elaboration, but lacks the melodic dimension that would allow further developments: it "remains a harmonic phenomenon".<ref>Heinrich Schenker, "Elucidations", ''Der Tonwille'' 8–9, English translation, vol. II, p. 117 (translation by [[Ian Bent]])</ref> From the very structure of triads (chords), it follows that arpeggiations remain disjunct and that any filling of their space involves conjunct motion. Schenker distinguishes two types of filling of the tonal space: 1) neighbor notes (''Nebennoten''), ornamenting one single note of the triad by being adjacent to it. These are sometimes referred to generically as "adjacencies";
2) passing notes, which pass by means of stepwise motion from one note to another and fill the space in between, and are thus sometimes referred to as "connectives".
Both neighbor notes and passing notes are dissonances. They may be made consonant by their coinciding with other notes (as in the [[#HaydnFmajor|Haydn]] example above) and, once consonant, may delimit further tonal spaces open to further elaborations. Insofar as chords consist of several voices, arpeggiations and passing notes always involve passing from one voice to another.
