The diatonic circle of fifths is the circle of fifths encompassing only members of the diatonic scale. Therefore, it contains a diminished fifth, in C major between B and F. See structure implies multiplicity. The circle progression is commonly a circle of fifths through the diatonic chords, including one diminished chord.
The circle progression is commonly a succession through all seven diatonic chords of a diatonic scale by fifths, including one progression by diminished fifth, (in C: between F and B) and one diminished chord (in C major, B o), returning to the tonic at the end. A full circle of fifths progression in C major is shown below.
The harmonic use of the chromatic third relation originated in the Romantic era and may occur on any structural level, for example in chord progressions or through key changes. [11] The standard Western chromatic scale has twelve equidistant semitones. [12] When arranged according to the circle of fifths, it looks like this:
Introducing the ii chord into these progressions emphasises their appeal as constituting elementary forms of circle progression. These, named for the circle of fifths , consist of "adjacent roots in ascending fourth or descending fifth relationship"—for instance, the sequence vi–ii–V–I ascends with each successive chord to one a fourth ...
Usually, the dominant preparation is derived from a circle of fifths progression. The most common dominant preparation chords are the supertonic, the subdominant, the V7/V, the Neapolitan chord (N 6 or ♭ II 6), and the augmented sixth chords (e.g., Fr +6).
The chord progression may be resolved with the tonic chord, for example in a IV M7 –V 7 –I or a ii 7 –V 7 –I progression. [3] IV M7 –V 7 –iii 7 –vi–ii 7 –V 7 –I creates a full circle of fifths progression in the major mode, with V 7 substituting for vii°. In C major, this would be F M7 –G 7 –Em 7 –Am–Dm 7 –G 7 –C.
Note: The harmonic analysis demonstrates a functional chord progression using the circle of fifths. This type of progression generally relies on the roots of the chords being a 4th apart. Taking the main key of measures 1 to 5 as A-flat major, the chords can be considered as vi–ii–V–I–IV in A-flat major.
