Example 5.23

Ivan Wyschnegradsky, Prelude No. 3, mm. 1-4

In Prelude No. 3, the prolongations are less clear than in previous examples. The analytic sketch of this passage adopts a middleground perspective in which I assume that the entire excerpt prolongs the small chord { B-natural, D-natural, E-quarter-sharp, G-quarter-sharp }, but other interpretations are possible.
