Music Theory terms: Classical Music

Mar 10, 2010 22:47

I have completely forgotten all of the music theory I learned in college. So the definition of the term i'm looking for is:
The chords are moving from say predominant to dominant, while the bass line goes to the next chord, the soprano holds the note for a beat longer before moving to the next note.
This is a common in all western classical music and I feel really stupid for forgetting it.
ETA: found, it's "suspension".
