4. SUSPENSION
DEFINITION: a rhythmic embellishment where a consonance is held over to the next beat, creating a dissonance with the new harmony. The dissonance is resolved by step, creating another consonant interval. Suspensions are designated by intervals above the bass; the most common are 7-6, 4-3, and 9-8.

5. SUSPENSION IN 3 PARTS 1 - Consonance (called the preparation)
2 - Consonance held over into the next beat to make an accented dissonance (the suspension)
3 - Resolution of the dissonance by step (called the resolution)
