How would this nonchord tone be labeled? Is it a retardation?
I'm working on an analysis of a song, and there is a section where the phrase starts off on this E-natural note over a B-flat major triad. This is the first note of the melody line.
Since it isn't approached by anything, would it make sense to call this a 4-5 retardation? Is it better to call it a free tone?
I know nonchord tone criteria doesn't always work, but I wanted to see if there is a good way to label this note. Thanks in advance!
