We have only to note with regard to these examples that in the first bar of (b) is a not uncommon case, G sharp being answered not by D sharp but by D natural. Such disregard of the exact quality of intervals is not infrequent; we shall meet with more instances later. At the end of (f) the subject modulates to the dominant; the answer here is exceptional, and will be discussed in our next chapter.
