From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Good post! I would only amplify one of your statements

"In the Renaissance, incidental vertical (harmonic) dissonance could occur as a result of the exact melodic imitation, and was accepted."
Indeed, but incidental vertical dissonance (especially when the voices are moving in contrary motion) also occurs in music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries too - and nobody needed Schoenberg to introduce a more or less continuous dissonance which was anything but incidental! In fact, the dissonance was critical to further Schoenberg's aim of destroying any sense of a key.

And BTW, I appreciate your going into the detail that you did - I certainly won't be accusing you of being "uncertain about the notes" - at least not in this thread! ;-)

And remember: even a queen is entitled to her opinion!
