conjunct motion
Conjunct motion refers to the movement of musical notes that are close together in pitch. This typically involves moving from one note to an adjacent note, such as from C to D or from E to F. It creates a smooth and connected sound, making melodies easier to sing and play.
In contrast to disjunct motion, which involves larger leaps between notes, conjunct motion maintains a sense of continuity. This technique is commonly found in various musical styles, including classical, jazz, and pop, contributing to the overall flow and coherence of a piece.
