Social - Harmonic Functions - Anticipation. Social - Relative key. Circle of fifths showing major and minor keys Relative tonic chords on C and A ( Play ). Chromatic modulation in Bach's Du grosser Schmerzensmann, BWV 300, m. 5-6 ( Play with half cadence, Play with PAC) transitions from FM to its relative minor dm through the inflection of C♮ to C♯ between the second and third chords. The minor key starts three semitones below its relative major; for example, A minor is three semitones below its relative, C Major.
G major and E minor both have a single sharp in their key signature at F♯; therefore, E minor is the relative minor of G major, and conversely G major is the relative major of E minor. A complete list of relative minor/major pairs in order of the circle of fifths is: See also[edit] References[edit] Social - Ricci Adams' Musictheory.net. List of musical symbols. Lines[edit] Clefs[edit] Clefs define the pitch range, or tessitura, of the staff on which it is placed. A clef is usually the leftmost symbol on a staff. Additional clefs may appear in the middle of a staff to indicate a change in register for instruments with a wide range.
In early music, clefs could be placed on any of several lines on a staff. Notes and rests[edit] Durations shorter than the 64th are rare but not unknown. 128th notes are used by Mozart and Beethoven; 256th notes occur in works by Vivaldi, Mozart and Beethoven. The name of very short notes can be found with this formula: th note. Breaks[edit] Accidentals and key signatures[edit] Common accidentals[edit] Key signatures[edit] Quarter tones[edit] Quarter-tone notation in Western music is not standardized. Other conventions for microtonal music are used on an ad hoc basis. Time signatures[edit] Time signatures define the meter of the music. Note relationships[edit] Dynamics[edit] Other commonly used dynamics build upon these values.
Harmonic Progressions | Learning and Loving Music Theory. Kelvin, You actually caught a mistake on the roman numerals! Thanks, I’ll have to fix that. The first and last chords of the progression are not 7th chords. Somehow I inadvertently typed “I7″ on the first chord of all the major keys. (Notice that I didn’t do that for the minor keys.)
In the classical tradition, for the sake of stability, the first and last chords of a circle-of-fifths progression are usually triads, not 7th chords. All of the other chords (other than the first and last) are 7th chords. Harmonic Sequences Part 2 In the jazz tradition all chords usually are 7ths, in which case the progression will start and end with 7th chords. Thanks again for your interest and input.
