But the greatest cleTerness is exercised by both<br />

theorists in their third kind of inversion. In<br />

this manner, an example is given, by each, of<br />

what Morley calls a ' canon made ^&r arsin et<br />

thesin ' without any ^<br />

discord in binding manner<br />

in it.' The object of this device may be thus<br />

explained : When any two parts are WTitten<br />

without suspended discords, they can be inverted<br />

in the double sense (melodically and harmonically),<br />

as was shown earlier, in such a way that<br />

all the intervals between them will be exactly<br />

restored. But if the two parts be also con-<br />

structed so that, apart from this inversion, the<br />

one forms with the other an exact cctnon by contrary<br />

inoiwiient, the inversion, when it takes<br />

place, will have this simple and surjirising<br />

result : the part that was the consequent may<br />

lead, and the leading piart may follow as a new<br />

consequent. This use of double counterpoint<br />

is worth quoting at length here, as it seems to<br />

represent the height of what may be styled<br />

practical ingenuity in this direction. The principal<br />

or model is given in full in each case, but<br />

only a few bars of the reply are indicated, as<br />

these may easily be completed by the reader :—<br />
