Voice leading
The principles governing the progression of the voice-parts in contrapuntal music with regard to the design of the individual lines rather than the resulting harmonies. Preference of step-wise movement in the three upper parts, contrary motion in at least one part, and avoidance of parallel fifths and octaves form the basis of voice leading.
