a. For the sake of following some natural order, we may consider first melodies that begin with the tonic. If this is of rather low pitch a higher tone will be expected to follow. But certain general restrictions may be noted. Any tone beyond the octave would be felt as a distinct surprise, the higher the more of a shock. Within the octave 7 would be least expected, especially for essential melody, though it would be less of a surprise as a mere transition. Of the remaining tones of the 20 The ...Role of Expectation in Music scale 4 and 6 have a less degree of expectation than 3, 5, or 2, and these three are not far apart. The octave is hardly expected, unless it be as an essential after some transitional tones. Of the lower octave 7, only a semitone removed from the tonic, has about the same degree of expectation as 4 and 6 above, while tones of still lower pitch — like 6 or 5 below the tonic — recede in degree of expectation, principally because with the voice they reach nearer the limit of range.
