The augmented sixth interval is typically between the sixth degree of the minor scale, ♭, and the raised fourth degree, ♯.With standard voice leading, the chord is followed directly or indirectly by some form of the dominant chord, in which both ♭ and ♯ have resolved to the fifth scale degree, .
[1] [3] Irregular resolutions also include V 7 becoming an augmented sixth [specifically a German sixth] through enharmonic equivalence [1] or in other words (and the adjacent image) resolving to the I chord in the key the augmented sixth chord (FACD ♯) would be in (A) rather than the key the dominant seventh (FACE ♭) would be in (B ♭).
Augmented sixth Play ⓘ.. In music, an augmented sixth (Play ⓘ) is an interval produced by widening a major sixth by a chromatic semitone. [1] [4] For instance, the interval from C to A is a major sixth, nine semitones wide, and both the intervals from C ♭ to A, and from C to A ♯ are augmented sixths, spanning ten semitones.
The augmented sixth chord can either be the Italian sixth It +6, which is enharmonically equivalent to a dominant seventh chord without the fifth; the German sixth Gr +6, which is enharmonically equivalent to a dominant seventh chord with the fifth; or the French sixth Fr +6, which is enharmonically equivalent to the Lydian dominant without the ...
The Italian augmented 6th chord (It+6) is one example, from which proceed the French augmented 6th chord (Fr+6) and German augmented 6th chord (Gr+6) by addition of one note. Rawlins (2005) asserts that the notion derives from practice of such composers as Eric Satie , Claude Debussy , Maurice Ravel , and Gabriel Fauré , and was first used in ...
The added-sixth chord (notated "6") is rarely inverted since it shares its notes with a seventh chord a minor third down (e.g. C 6 has the same notes as an Am 7), although a counterexample is The 5th Dimension's recorded version of "Stoned Soul Picnic" (on 5). [7]
The term sixth chord refers to two different kinds of chord, the first in classical music and the second in modern popular music. [1] [2]The original meaning of the term is a chord in first inversion, in other words with its third in the bass and its root a sixth above it.
The chord is an augmented sixth chord, specifically a French sixth chord, F–B–D ♯-A, with the note G ♯ heard as an appoggiatura resolving to A. (Theorists debate the root of French sixth chords.) The harmonic function as a predominant is intact, with the chord moving to V7.
