97.163Apply conceptually to “Mack the Knife”
Using a legal chart/ear-learned melody:
Before each chorus:
hear the next texture.
For example:
Chorus 1: two-beat.
Before Chorus 2 arrives:
hear walking pulse internally while still finishing Chorus 1.
Before modulation:
hear the new tonic.
Before big final blocks:
hear the top melody + bass first.
The goal is to make the evolving arrangement sound predicted rather than selected after the fact.
