Contrapuntal motion
In music theory, contrapuntal motion is the general movement of two or more melodic lines with respect to each other.[1] In traditional four-part harmony, it is important that lines maintain their independence, an effect which can be achieved by the judicious use of the four types of contrapuntal motion: parallel motion, similar motion, contrary motion, and oblique motion.[2][3]
