A series of arpeggios in J. S. Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring "The Star-Spangled Banner" opens with an arpeggio. [1] Arpeggios open Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and continue as accompaniment An arpeggio ( Italian: [arˈpeddʒo] ) is a type of broken chord in which the notes that compose a chord are individually sounded in a progressive ...
arpeggio, arpeggiato played like a harp (i.e. the notes of the chords are to be played quickly one after another instead of simultaneously); in music for piano, this is sometimes a solution in playing a wide-ranging chord whose notes cannot be played otherwise; arpeggios are frequently used as an accompaniment; see also broken chord articulato
The arpeggione is especially suited to playing runs in thirds, double stops, and arpeggios. [ 1 ] It enjoyed a brief period of popularity for perhaps a decade after its invention around 1823 by the Viennese instrument luthiers Johann Georg Stauffer and Peter Teufelsdorfer .

Thus for a several bar section in C7, a performer playing "inside" will use a C7 arpeggio and the C mixolydian scale. A performer playing "outside" will use arpeggios and scales that are harmonically distant and thus more dissonant-sounding, such as a D ♭ arpeggio and a D ♭ major scale. Playing "inside" is more relaxed-sounding.
The melody is complemented by syncopated chords, forming an accented rhythm against the perpetual arpeggio motif. The phrases are contextualised by a descending bass line, often beginning with the 7th tone of each phrase key. For example, where the phrase consists of an arpeggio in C major, the bass line begins with a B ♭.
It leads into a larger section which begins with a left hand arpeggio in E major and a descending right hand E major pentatonic progression. The second quieter B section is in A major , starting with a gesture (E-D-E-C ♯ ), briefly passing through E major, returning to A major and ending with a bold pronouncement of the E-D-E-C ♯ gesture ...
The chord-scale system may be compared with other common methods of improvisation, first, the older traditional chord tone/chord arpeggio method, and where one scale on one root note is used throughout all chords in a progression (for example the blues scale on A for all chords of the blues progression: A 7 E 7 D 7).
