An altered dominant seventh chord arising from voice leading in the first movement of Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2, Op. 35 [8] Here a D dominant seventh chord changes to D dominant seventh with an augmented fifth – D7(#5) – which then resolves to a G major triad.
A tritone substitution is the substitution of one dominant seventh chord (possibly altered or extended) with another that is three whole steps (a tritone) from the original chord. In other words, tritone substitution involves replacing V 7 with ♭ II 7 [ 7 ] (which could also be called ♭ V 7 /V, subV 7 , [ 7 ] or V 7 / ♭ V [ 7 ] ).
Diminished seventh chords may also be rooted on scale degrees other than the leading-tone, either as secondary function chords temporarily borrowed from other keys, or as appoggiatura chords: a chord rooted on the raised second scale degree (D ♯ –F ♯ –A–C in the key of C) acts as an appoggiatura to the tonic (C major) chord, and one ...
In jazz, the altered scale, altered dominant scale, or super-Locrian scale (Locrian ♭ 4 scale) is a seven-note scale that is a dominant scale where all non-essential tones have been altered. This means that it comprises the three irreducibly essential tones that define a dominant seventh chord , which are root, major third, and minor seventh ...
If the original chord in a song is G7 (G, B, D, F), the tritone substitution would be D ♭ 7 (D ♭, F, A ♭, C ♭). Note that the 3rd and 7th notes of the G7 chord are found in the D ♭ 7 chord (albeit with a change of role). The tritone substitution is widely used for V7 chords in the popular jazz chord progression "ii-V-I".
Play ⓘ Key signature change example: C major to C minor. In music, modulation is the change from one tonality (tonic, or tonal center) to another. This may or may not be accompanied by a change in key signature (a key change). Modulations articulate or create the structure or form of many pieces, as well as add interest.
In jazz, a four-chord progression may use four different scales, often as the result of chordal alterations. For instance, in C major, a jazz musician may alter the V chord, G 7 (G–B–D–F), with a flattened fifth, producing the chord G 7 ♭ 5 (G–B–D ♭ –F).
In this case, the chord is viewed as a C major seventh chord (CM 7) in which the third note is an augmented fifth from root (G ♯), rather than a perfect fifth from root (G). All chord names and symbols including altered fifths, i.e., augmented (♯ 5, +5, aug5) or diminished (♭ 5, o 5, dim5) fifths can be interpreted in a similar way.
