I think it should be noted that such a sustained suspension won't necessarily sound any softer than repeating the note when actually sung by a choir, since their voices don't fade out like a piano note does, at least not for such relatively short notes.

I can see the 2d and 3rd suspensions easily, because a note is PSR, you see note-repeat-lower. However I don't see a repetition in that first group. Is it because the dotted note is sustained and is both P and S?
reply

Suspensions can be 8-7, 7-6, 6-5, 5-4, 4-3, 3-2, 2-1? Because a 4-3 suspension is considered a SUS4 chord? and a 3-2 or 2-3 inverted suspension is considered a SUS2 chord?

Glorious. This really highlights how Bach's genius shines through in even the smallest moments. You have really good pitch too. Thanks for the lesson Gareth.

You are great when your teaching is spoken, become superb when you sing it. Genius! Next time you should sing a whole chorale with the words to explain it!

Loved this lesson! Can you do us guitar players (who don't read or do it well) a favor? Can you say or have each chord visible? ie. C . Just to help

Very cool, thank you. I tested my music notation and chord theory to figure out what was happening before it was explained. Everything made sense.
