E7
Which non-harmonic tone involves stepping away from and then returning to the original chord tone, usually on an unaccented beat?

If you were transposing music written in D minor up a perfect fourth into another minor key using accidentals instead of key signatures where would you need accidentals?
You will need A#'s wherever there was an Eโฏ previously because we're still technically in minor even though both notes are enharmonic equivalents they serve different harmonic functions
Eโญ's will be needed whereas Bโญ's will remain unchanged because they are diatonic
Aโญ's will be needed wherever there was an Eโฎ previously while Bโญ's remain unchanged because they are diatonic
Aโฎ will be needed because we've jumped out of their original position into one not covered by G minor's key signature while any previous Bโฎ remain unchanged
How many sharps are there in an A major scale?
Zero
Four
Two
Three
