So let me see what I need to do with voice leading
because that's definitely one thing you need to keep in, in mind.
The voice leading actually, when we move to working with inversions.
We don't have all these nice little algorithms that we had in the first week.
Where we're working with root position chords.
And so if the bass goes up by a step, that means the other voices can move down.
In, in contrary motion to the nearest chord tone.
When you do that, then you very easily avoid
bad voice leading.
But when we work with inversion, we just have to be
very cautious that we're, you know, moving by the smallest amount.
Moving by step or the smallest interval possible.
And that we don't have things like parallel octaves and parallel fifths.
So let's see what happens for instance, if I just take the bass.

And do that.
Well, we get third and third and root and fifth.
So, is that okay?
Well of course, we have to look even closer
because, look we have this parallel octaves here, octave here.
