retardation

A retardation is usually an accented non-chord tone, meaning it occurs on a downbeat. A retardation is approached by the same note and resolves up by step.

A suspension keeps a note the same and then resolves by step (commonly downward). A retardation (Ret.) keeps a note the same and then steps upward. Suspensions can also resolve upward.

If the bass note is suspended, then the interval is calculated between the bass and the part that is most dissonant with it, often resulting in a 2–3 suspension. Suspensions must resolve downwards. If a tied note is prepared like a suspension but resolves upwards, it is called a retardation.

Anticipation tones are chord tones that come a little bit before a change in harmony. For example, if you are moving from a V-I in a perfect authentic cadence, you might introduce the tonic in the soprano line an eighth note before the harmonic beat, when the rest of the chord tones come in.

Retardation is merely a negative acceleration. The body's velocity can either increase or decrease. The change in velocity is referred to as acceleration. Positive acceleration occurs when the body's velocity increases. Similarly, as velocity decreases, the acceleration becomes negative which is called retardation.

When final velocity of the body is less than initial velocity, then the body is said to be under retardation. Retardation can also be named as negative acceleration or deceleration. Example: When we apply brakes to the vehicle, the velocity of the vehicle decreases (Final velocity becomes less than initial velocity).

The term is borrowed from the contrapuntal technique of suspension, where a note from a previous chord is carried over to the next chord, and then resolved down to the third or tonic, suspending a note from the previous chord.

The numbers refer to the chord tone: 4-3 means landing on the 4th then resolving to the 3rd (ex. Play C-F-G, then resolve the F down to an E). The other suspensions work the same way: 9th degree down to the 8th (play a C major triad, then a D on top for the 9th, then resolve it down to C for the 8th).

In music, retardation consists of keeping a note from a chord suspended or maintained into the next chord and, then, resolving it a step upwards. Retardation is accented and provides some dissonance to the chord. In music theory, it is usually abbreviated with the letters "ret."

Anticipation Skills- Types of Anticipation

• 1) Intrinsic Awareness: Assessing the quality of your shot.
• 2) Tracking or Perceptual Anticipation: Assessing the type and quality of your opponent's shot.
• 3) Situational-Tactical Anticipation: Analyzing your opponent's patterns, tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses.

Anticipation comes in many different guises. The simplest distinction is between explicit and implicit anticipation. Explicit anticipations are those of which the system is aware. They may be used as synonyms for predictions or expectations.
