27:00 - CORRECTION: Thanks to subscriber "Mr Loud" for finding another voice leading error; in the example in measure 1, beat 1 to 2 the tenor goes below where the bass was previously which is an "overlapping" mistake (the tenor note "A" on beat 2 is below the bass note "Bb" on beat 1).
QUESTION on Lesson 12 from Andrew FM: "Any tips on when to bring in and out different voices based on the time in the composition? Should all 4 voices come in at once and stay present, etc."
