In music theory, chord substitution is the technique of using a chord in place of another in a progression of chords, or a chord progression. Much of the European classical repertoire and the vast majority of blues , jazz and rock music songs are based on chord progressions.
The A ♭ in the altered chord serves as a leading tone to G, which is the root of the next chord.. The object of such foreign tones is: to enlarge and enrich the scale; to confirm the melodic tendency of certain tones...; to contradict the tendency of others...; to convert inactive tones into active [leading tones]...; and to affiliate the keys, by increasing the number of common tones.
F minor is a minor scale based on F, consisting of the pitches F, G, A ♭, B ♭, C, D ♭, and E ♭.Its key signature consists of four flats.Its relative major is ...
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.
In a minor key, where the dominant may be a minor chord, the dominant parallel will be the major chord a minor third above the (minor) dominant. Dr. Riemann...sets himself to demonstrate that every chord within the key-system has, and must have, either a Tonic, Dominant or Subdominant function or significance.
In a jazz band, these chord changes are usually played in the key of B ♭ [7] with various chord substitutions.Here is a typical form for the A section with various common substitutions, including bVII 7 in place of the minor iv chord; the addition of a ii–V progression (Fm 7 –B ♭ 7) that briefly tonicizes the IV chord, E ♭; using iii in place of I in bar 7 (the end of the first A ...
Fm In a minor key, the closely related keys are the parallel major, mediant or relative major, the subdominant, the minor dominant, the submediant, and the subtonic . In the key of A minor , when we translate them to keys, we get:
Preferring to base chords on perfect intervals—especially octaves, fifths, and fourths—Fripp often avoids minor thirds and especially major thirds, [106] which are sharp in equal temperament tuning (in comparison to thirds in just intonation). Alternative harmonies can also be generated by stacking second intervals (major or minor). [107]
