Of course the 24 note circle is only complete in 12 tone tuning, in 31 tone tuning it would be a 62 note circle where the ends of it are outside of our hearing range.<br /><br />Anyways on to the answers:<br />1 1) C,Em, Am 2) A C#m F#m 3) Bb Dm Gm 4) G Bm Em 5) Ab Cm Fm 6) F# A#m D#m<br /><br />2 1) Em, C, (Am) 2) Bb, Gm, Eb 3) G#m, E, (C#m) 4) F#m, D, (Bm) 5) F, Am, C 6) Fdim is never tonic as far I know.<br />The chords that are most useful as tonic function chords are minor chords since the bIII is a weak chord for the purpose of tonic function.<br /><br />3) G is tonic, Em is tonic, C is subdominant, D is dominant, Em is tonic, F#dim is dominant, G is tonic, D7 is dominant, G is tonic, Bm is tonic, Am is subdominant, C is subdominant, Em is tonic, D7 is dominant, G is tonic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745474686574506080noreply@blogger.com
