In C major, what is the harmonic function of D major?
V/V
In C major, what is the harmonic function of A major?
V/ii
In C major, what is the harmonic function of E major?
V/vi
In C major, what is the harmonic function of F major?
Often IV, can be I/IV
What is the function of V/V-V in a key?
Tonicizes the dominant, then resolves to it.
What is the function of V/ii-ii in a key?
Tonicizes the supertonic, then resolves to it.
What is the function of V/IV-IV in a key?
Tonicizes the subdominant, then resolves to it.
What is the role of accidentals in identifying tonicization?
They often indicate a temporary leading tone relationship.
How do you differentiate V/IV from I-IV?
Context and frequent use of the subdominant tone.
Why is context important in harmonic analysis?
To determine the function of chords and identify tonicizations.
What is tonicization?
A brief visit to another key using its chords and notes.
Define 'secondary key'.
The key being temporarily visited during tonicization.
Define 'temporary tonic'.
The tonic of the secondary key during tonicization.
What are closely related keys?
Keys that share many pitches and chord progressions with the primary key.
Define 'secondary dominant'.
A dominant chord that temporarily tonicizes another chord, not the tonic.
What is cadential extension?
Using multiple secondary dominants in succession to create tension and release around a cadence.
Define 'suffixes' in cadential extension.
Harmonic extensions after resolving to the dominant, often tonicizing other chords to prolong the section.
Define 'prefixes' in cadential extension.
Similar to suffixes but appear before the final cadence, ending with a cadence in the home key.
What is the function of V/V?
Dominant of the dominant, temporarily tonicizing the dominant.
What is the function of V/ii?
Dominant of the supertonic, temporarily tonicizing the supertonic.
What is the function of V/IV?
Dominant of the subdominant, temporarily tonicizing the subdominant.
What does V/V mean?
Dominant chord of the dominant key.
What does V65/V mean?
First inversion V7 chord of the dominant key.
How is a secondary dominant notated?
V/X, where X is the scale degree being tonicized.
How do you notate the dominant seventh of the supertonic?
V7/ii
How do you notate the dominant seventh of the subdominant?
V7/IV
