  1. Chopin favors a certain way of resolving an inverse suspension (Wikipedia says these are called retardations?) for which I seek the correct name, if a specific name exists---for the combination of tension-note and method of resolution. This is for use in a project of literary fiction. There's an example filling measure 22 (and several others) of Prelude 13 in F# major, and others at least in certain Nocturnes including (off-hand) Opus 28 #2. The measure-22 example looks like this, with B# resolving to C#. It's in 6/4 and all the notes here are 16ths. A '.' extends by a 16th and a ':' by an 8th. The undercurrent is also 8ths. B#.:::.C# E# D# C#.::::: Neither this example nor the figure itself appears in JP Dunn's treatise on ornamention in Chopin, perhaps because it's always notated in explicit rhythm without embellishment.
