This feature leads us rather nearto the study of Bnharmony, which is explained^Ti'^r"^ later; but the device originated entirely on the*^*'lines of "horizontal thinking" with the Northerncomposers. Sibelius has a passage in his Fourth Symphonywhere the woodwind instruments are moving in the key ofA major, against a remarkable pedal-figure in E flat on thestrings. It should be stated that the string pedal figure is wellgrounded on the ear before the A major colour is introducedon the woodwind. Our example is taken from the developmentof this passage. After these three bars the two orchestraswork on together in contrasted keys for some time before thestrings finally join the woodwind in the key of A major.Ek.804.SIBJfiUUS,rmAllegro^ 4th Symphony, Op. 63.jString Pedal flgura previously estatUshed
