It's meant in terms of intervals for the counterpoint. Since 3-4-5-6 are consonant, dissonant, consonant, and consonant. It's not a standard term I kinda made it up haha
@@JustWriteMusic Thanks, got It. Also watched video several times and one thing left me confused at 2:40 - What we were doing here ? - We were making the part Guitar III to serve as "consistent texture" for Guitar-I ? Or vice versa? Looks like in that part the 16th-notes rise of Guitar-I looks consistent, but not the Guitar III part(that has 8th, 4th notes and the gap).
This piece is written as a Fugue, so Guitar III is being introduced with the Subject (the main melody/cantus firmus) as Guitar I continues on to play a secondary role above it. If you look closely, you'll see those two instruments are introduced with the same melody, as well as Guitar II - this is a hallmark of a fugue. Essentially, the instruments are tossing around the main melody and the other two instruments not playing it are playing supporting roles that still have to jive with the counterpoint/main melody. It's a beautiful sound, one of the things that I really love about polyphony
Thanks so much for watching! Are you ready to be a melody master? ►► justwritemusic.com/melodymastery
Hello! What did you mean by "passing lines, like 3,4,5,6" on 2:10 ? Some set of consequtive notes from the scale ?

This style of counterpoint is very similar to canons. Good video
Thanks so much! You're absolutely right, the same counterpoint can be used for canons, for sure
