Dave - Im in Improvising study 1 placing lick into chorus form context/Section 5/ AB/AC chorus form. In example 5.1 you have that keyedn as a 4 chord. Certainly there is a G note starting the example, and a G note reappears right where you have the IV chord sign. I understand that the G note is part of the 4 (IV) chord but there is no C or E note, so why wouldnt you call this a 1 chord as well because the 1 cord also has a G note. I guess Im getting a bit lost here.
Hello Baruch. Ex. 5.1 is the B option of contrast. I'm showing you that you can use any lick, even if it doesn't match the chord well... it still works... pretty cool... an example of phrasing trumping chord change. The idea is that bars 5 and 6 are a departure from your A (main idea). You sure can use more notes, if not all, of the IV chord, but I'm showing you that you don't have to.
