All Flashcards
What should you remember when part-writing secondary leading tone chords?
Raise the leading tone.
What type of vii°⁷ chords should be avoided?
Root position vii°⁷ chords.
What half-diminished 7th chords (viiø⁷) should be avoided in minor keys?
No half-diminished 7th chords (viiø⁷) should be used in minor keys.
Why should vii°/III and viiø⁷/III be avoided in minor keys?
They sound the same as ii° and iiø⁷.
Why should viiø⁷/V be avoided in minor keys?
You can't raise and not raise the leading tone in the same chord.
What should you remember when part-writing secondary leading tone chords?
Keep in mind that the leading tone, chordal seventh, and tonic will be different in the secondary key.
What is the most important thing to remember when dealing with secondary leading tone chords?
Follow all voice-leading rules.
What is the function of a leading tone?
To resolve upward by a half step to the tonic.
What is the typical resolution of a chordal seventh?
To resolve downward by step.
What is the result of the vii°/vi to vi cadence?
It sounds more conclusive than a V-vi cadence because of the vii-i motion in the secondary key.
What is tonicization?
A brief shift to another key, borrowing chords and progressions from it, creating a temporary new 'home' before returning to the original key.
What is a secondary key?
The borrowed key during tonicization.
What is a temporary tonic?
The tonic of the secondary key.
What are secondary leading-tone chords?
Chords that add extra spice by creating a dominant function that leads to a temporary tonic. They are like the V chord's cool cousin!
What is vii°⁷?
A fully diminished seventh chord.
What is viiø⁷?
A half-diminished seventh chord.
What is tonicizing deceptive motion?
When a deceptive cadence (V-vi) is followed by a tonicization of the vi chord, often using a vii°/vi chord.
Define dominant function.
The harmonic role of a chord that creates tension and pulls towards the tonic.
What is a deceptive cadence?
A chord progression where the dominant chord (V) is followed by a chord other than the tonic (usually vi).
What is a passing tone?
A non-chord tone that occurs between two chord tones, approached and left by step in the same direction.
What typically precedes a temporary tonic?
A V or vii° of the secondary key.
What is the function of vii°⁷/V?
It creates a strong dominant pull towards the V chord.
Why is the dominant chord typically used to precede a temporary tonic?
It makes the temporary tonic sound like a real tonic due to the leading tone's pull.
What is the function of V-vi?
Deceptive cadence
What is the function of vii-i?
Strong conclusive cadence

What keys are commonly tonicized?
Dominant (V), subdominant (IV), or supertonic (ii) of the primary key.
What is the relationship between V and vii°/vi?
The motion from V to vii°/vi has many common tones and stepwise motion, making it sound like a non-chord tone.
