Dominant of the supertonic.

What is V/IV?

Dominant of the subdominant.

What are Cadential Extensions?

Harmonic extensions added to a cadence, either before (prefixes) or after (suffixes).

What is Regular Resolution?

Secondary dominant resolves to its tonic (e.g., V/V-V).

What is Irregular Resolution?

Secondary dominant resolves to a substitute of its tonic (e.g., V/IV-ii6).

What is Deceptive Resolution?

Secondary dominant resolves to the vi of the secondary key (e.g., V6/5/V-iii).

How should the leading tone in a secondary dominant resolve?

Up by step.

What bassline suggests V/V-V?
