Escape Notes (Non-Harmonic Tones) – Music Theory

This music theory lesson explains escape notes, what they are and how to use them. When it comes to inessential notes many musicians understand passing notes, understand auxiliary notes, and are happy about anticipatory notes. But what about escape notes, also known as escape tones or echappee? Here we explain what they are and clarify the various ways in which these patterns qualify as echappee. Examples of these non-chord and non-harmonic tones are written and played. Useful for performers and composers alike.
