    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominant_seventh_chord

    It was the first seventh chord to appear regularly in classical music. The V 7 chord is found almost as often as the V, the dominant triad, [5] and typically functions to drive the piece strongly toward a resolution to the tonic of the key. A dominant seventh chord can be represented by the integer notation {0, 4, 7, 10} relative to the dominant.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_chord

    The most common chords are tertian, constructed using a sequence of major thirds (spanning 4 semitones) and/or minor thirds (3 semitones). Since there are 3 third intervals in a seventh chord (4 notes) and each can be major or minor, there are 7 possible permutations (the 8th one, consisted of four major thirds, results in a non-seventh augmented chord, since a major third equally divides the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominant_seventh_flat_five...

    In music theory, the dominant seventh flat five chord is a seventh chord composed of a root note, together with a major third, a diminished fifth, and a minor seventh above the root (1, ♮ 3, ♭ 5 and ♭ 7). For example, the dominant seventh flat five chord built on G, commonly written as G 7 ♭ 5, is composed of the pitches G–B–D ♭ –F:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_inversion

    The third inversion of a seventh chord is the voicing in which the seventh of the chord is the bass note and the root a major second above it. In the third inversion of a G-dominant seventh chord, the bass is F — the seventh of the chord — with the root, third, and fifth stacked above it (the root now shifted an octave higher), forming the intervals of a second, a fourth, and a sixth above ...

  8. Altered scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_scale

    The altered scale is made by the sequence: Half, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Whole, Whole. The abbreviation "alt" (for "altered") used in chord symbols enhances readability by reducing the number of characters otherwise needed to define the chord and avoids the confusion of multiple equivalent complex names.

  9. Harmonization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonization

    It refers to the technique of sliding a chord (or chord tone) up or down, either chromatically or a tritone apart, maintaining the shape and voicing of the chord, at times resolving to the original chord. For example, F7 (F – A – C – E ♭) could slide up to become G ♭ 7 (G ♭ - B ♭ - D ♭ - F ♭), thus
