4. EXAMPLES ILLUSTRATING THE LITTLE CATALOGUE

Characterized by contrapuntal imitation and varied in multiple ways, motif no 20 takes shape by repeating:

- either a principle or secondary tonal couple  V -I 

(motifs no 20a to 20f illustrate a few possible formulations among many)

- or a plagal couple IV - I, more rarely II - I or N - I
