1) Let's start with a discussion question. At the start of the video, we mentioned how the V chord is special, getting most harmonic developments before other chords do. Why do you think that is? What makes the V chord, or dominant function in general, so special?
2) Let's move on to II-Vs, because those are the real meat of this episode. Let's try identifying them: Below are the basic chords for the jazz song I Love You, by Cole Porter. See how many II-Vs you can find! (HINT: There's a lot.)
3) Finally, let's talk about that last thing I said, about the voice-leading symmetries. I'm not gonna give you more work to do than that, but see if you can't go back and figure out what I was talking about there. It's not crucial, but it's an interesting concept and understanding it might give you some valuable insight into harmonic structure. Give it a try!
And that's it! See you next week!
1) Its special in that way that it is the chord with most pull and consonance towards the tonic chord. Its a really stable place to be.
ReplyDelete2) the first 3 chords are ii,V,I in this piece in F major this progression Gm to C.
Then it also looks like Am to D is a ii-V progression which resolves to Gm this is with use of secondary dominant function. Giving a total of 10 ii-V in the first 10 bars.
then there comes a section i'm not sure which key we are in here but its about but looking like its resolving again to Gm and then repeating the pattern i would guess there is 15 :P
3) the movement in the bass from ii-V is the same as V-I was kinda the only thing i grasped.
Im not sure about the G to C.
