F-sharp minor is sometimes used as the parallel minor of G-flat major, especially since G-flat major's real parallel minor, G-flat minor, would have nine flats including two double-flats. For example, in the middle section of his seventh Humoresque in G-flat major , Antonín Dvořák switches from G-flat major to F-sharp minor for the middle ...
The minor seventh chord may also have its interval of minor seventh (between root and seventh degree, i.e.: C–B ♭ in C–E ♭ –G–B ♭) rewritten as an augmented sixth C–E ♭ –G–A ♯. [6] Rearranging and transposing, this gives A ♭ –C ♭ –E ♭ –F ♯, a virtual minor version of the German augmented sixth chord. [7]
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 ...
A minor major seventh chord, or minor/major seventh chord (also known as the Hitchcock Chord) is a seventh chord composed of a root, minor third, perfect fifth, and major seventh (1, ♭ 3, 5, and 7). It can be viewed as a minor triad with an additional major seventh. When using popular-music symbols, it is denoted by e.g. m (M7). For example ...

It is minor because it is the smaller of the two sevenths, spanning ten semitones. The major seventh spans eleven. For example, the interval from A 3 to G 4 is a minor seventh, as the note G 4 lies ten semitones above A 3 , and there are seven staff positions from A 3 to G 4 .
Seventh (F), in red, of a G7 dominant seventh chord in C Third inversion G7 chord; the seventh is the bass. In music, the seventh factor of a chord is the note or pitch seven scale degrees above the root or tonal center. [1] When the seventh is the bass note, or lowest note, of the expressed chord, the chord is in third inversion Play ⓘ.
Nondominant seventh chord resolution along a circle progression, the seventh resolves down by step to the third of the next chord: I 7 –IV [3] Play ⓘ. B resolves to A. In music theory, a nondominant seventh chord is both a diatonic chord and a seventh chord, but it does not possess dominant function, [2] and thus it is not a dominant ...
