Figure 5. The voice leadings on Rockwell’s graph can be combined in multiple nonequivalent waysThe voice leadings on Rockwell’s graph can be combined in multiple nonequivalent ways: the pair of bass motions in (a) cancel out, while no motions cancel in (b). As a result, the composite voice leadings (formed by taking the first and last chords) have different sizes.
