change where indicated by underscores. Use root or inverted chords to facilitate smooth “voice leading.” Refer
to Exercise 9 on page 381.) On the underscores, write roman numeral and figured bass symbols. The first measure
is done for you. Play the harmonization or ask another student or your instructor to play it for you.
