Three notes are displayed on the bass staff in the following order: B on the first line, E in the third space, D on the third line.
Question
Look at the musical example to answer the question.
Is the interval between the second and third notes stepwise or a leap?
The interval between the second and third notes is a stepwise interval.
To determine whether the interval between the second and third notes is stepwise or a leap, we need to analyze the distance between the notes on the bass staff.
Given that the second note is E in the third space and the third note is D on the third line, we can see that the interval between them is a stepwise progression.
In terms of the bass staff, a stepwise interval means that the two notes are adjacent to each other, either on adjacent lines or spaces. In this case, E in the third space is adjacent to D on the third line, making it a stepwise interval.
