Genetics

A disease that strikes earlier each generation

In genetics, anticipation is the tendency of an inherited disorder to appear at an earlier age, and often with greater severity, in each successive generation of a family. Long dismissed as a reporting artifact, it was vindicated when Harley and colleagues' 1992 Unstable DNA sequence in myotonic dystrophy and Ashley and Warren's 1995 review traced it to unstable trinucleotide repeats that expand as they pass from parent to child, so a longer repeat brings earlier onset. The referent is a molecular-genetic pattern across generations, measured by age of onset against repeat length, nothing to do with a tone that arrives before its chord.[1][2]

Unit
The shift in age of onset and severity across successive generations
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Assessed by comparing age of onset and repeat length across parent–child pairs in affected pedigrees

Music theory

A note that arrives before its chord

In music an anticipation is a non-chord tone sounded before the harmony it belongs to arrives, so a voice reaches the next chord's note early and is then held or restruck when that chord sounds. Harmony texts such as Aldwell and Schachter's Harmony and voice leading and Kostka, Payne, and Almén's Tonal harmony group it among the embellishing tones, distinguished from a suspension or passing tone by its forward rather than lagging relation to the beat. The referent is a melodic-rhythmic ornament defined against an underlying chord, not an inherited disease pattern, sharing only the idea of something coming early.[3][4]

Unit
A tone sounded ahead of the chord to which it belongs
Recovery means
Resolution is immediate: the anticipated tone becomes a chord tone once its harmony arrives
Measured by
Identified by its metric placement before the chord change and its stepwise approach
