Antonio Vivaldi used this key for the "Spring" concerto from The Four Seasons.. Johann Sebastian Bach used E major for a violin concerto, as well as for his third partita for solo violin; the key is especially appropriate for the latter piece because its tonic (E) and subdominant (A) correspond to open strings on the violin, enhancing the tone colour (and ease of playing) of the bariolage in ...

The terms quartal and quintal imply a contrast, either compositional or perceptual, with traditional harmonic constructions based on thirds: listeners familiar with music of the common practice period are guided by tonalities constructed with familiar elements: the chords that make up major and minor scales, all in turn built from major and minor thirds.
As previously stated, a dominant seventh is a four-note chord combining a major chord and a minor seventh. For example, the C7 dominant seventh chord adds B ♭ to the C-major chord (C,E,G). The naive chord (C,E,G,B ♭) spans six frets from fret 3 to fret 8; [50] such seventh chords "contain some pretty serious stretches in the left hand". [47]
After a robust introduction, the singer jumps right in, exclaiming "Tournez, tournez." The piece continues on with an exciting, forward-moving accompaniment, ultimately slowing into a pianissimo finale in E major.

In the key of C major, these would be: D minor, E minor, F major, G major, A minor, and C minor. Despite being three sharps or flats away from the original key in the circle of fifths, parallel keys are also considered as closely related keys as the tonal center is the same, and this makes this key have an affinity with the original key.
A "common chord" may also be defined simply as a triadic chord [2] (e.g., C–E–G), as one of the most commonly used chords in a key (I–IV–V–vi–ii–iii), [3] more narrowly as a triad in which the fifth is perfect (i.e., a major or minor triad), in which sense it is alternatively referred to as a "perfect chord" [4] [5] or, more ...
