    The document describes the Phrase Model, a harmonic framework for harmonizing stepwise bass lines. It includes the Rule of the Octave for both major and minor keys, which provides template chord progressions to harmonize ascending and descending bass lines. It also discusses substitutions for subdominant chords and provides examples of passing, neighbor, and incomplete neighbor expansions that can be used within the Rule of the Octave framework.

    The text discusses phrase models and chord progressions in tonal music, including substitutions for subdominant chords and the Rule of the Octave.

    Substitutions discussed for subdominant chords in major include ii6 and ii6%. In minor, substitutions include ii°6 and ii ̄6%.

    The Rule of the Octave describes a method for harmonizing stepwise bass motion using predominant chords like IV and ii. It works in both ascending and descending forms in both major and minor.
