    Thanks David! Very well done. I appreciate the listening examples you present, but I would find it even more helpful to hear all the progressions you go through. Thank you again.

    It is always to play each and every fragment and even better, include the .sib or .mscz files. Great upload! Thanks!

    Hey David, I am studying Tonal Harmony by Kostka on my own without a teacher. Your videos are extremely helpful!

    I´ve been taught that the Neopolitan is a chord on the fourth degree with lowered second and lowered sixth, degrees. So in C-major it would be: F-Aflat-D flat.Greetings from Sweden. :)

    So that put my head spinning a bit trying to determine the dim7th of B#, but I figured that A double sharp was the major seventh, A# was the minor seventh and A was the diminished 7th of B#dim7. But in retrospect, I just needed to picture it in my mind on the piano.

    I think this is very very helpful but please play these example so we can hear them .

      Thanks! I play several of the longer chord progressions, but to keep the videos a manageable length, I don't choose to play everything.

    David E Farrell, What "borrowed" key or scale is the Neapolitan chord coming from? example in the key of C major the Neapolitan chord is being borrowed from which key or scale?

    • @DavidEFarrell
      @DavidEFarrell  Před 3 lety

      I don't think there is a good answer to this - the Neapolitan is not a "borrowed chord" in the way that mode mixture or secondary chords are. If you absolutely want to think of it this way, you could think of it as from the Phrygian mode...

    • @waynegram8907
      @waynegram8907 Před 3 lety

      @@DavidEFarrell So the Neapolitan chord is borrowed from the relative or parallel Phrygian mode of the original key?

    Consecutive octaves, bruh.

      @SundayMatinee Před 5 lety

      Consecutive octaves only applies to moving voices, not to common tones. Are there parallel moving voices somewhere?

    I’m somewhat confused on how the V7/N is built off the lowered sixth scale degree.
