Unfigured Bass Practice


Recommended Posts

I have a book by Ebenezer Prout, in which he gives a number of unfigured basses to practice harmonizing over. I made an attempt at harmonizing the given bass line. The given bass is highlighted in red. The top three voices were added by me. Any feedback is appreciated!

Hi @Guardian25,

I never heard the term unfigured bass haha!

The only error I notice is in b.12 where there’s a parallel fifth between T and B, and in b.5 second chord usually for a diminished chord the third (G) would be doubled instead of the root (E).

Yeah! They are basically Bass parts that are given without the figures written underneath. From my understanding they were not that comply used, but I would assume that are a good for practice harmonizing over a given bass part. 

I updated those two mistakes you pointed. I changed that diminished chord in b. 5 to.a g minor to get a iv-V-i at that spot!
