Figured bass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Figured bass, or thoroughbass, is a kind of integer musical notation used to indicate intervals, chords, and nonchord tones, in relation to a bass note. |
 | | Figured bass is closely associated with basso continuo, an accompaniment used in almost all genres of music in the Baroque period. |
 | | The figured bass, therefore, was integral to the development of the Baroque, by extension the ”classical”, and by further extension most subsequent musical styles. |
