  2. Second inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_inversion

    4 chord (as in I 6 4), while a second-inversion seventh chord is a 4 3 chord. Inversions are not restricted to the same number of tones as the original chord, nor to any fixed order of tones except with regard to the interval between the root, or its octave, and the bass note, hence, great variety results. [1] Note that any voicing above the ...

  3. F-sharp minor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-sharp_minor

    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 ...

  4. Root position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_position

    The root position of a chord is the voicing of a triad, seventh chord, or ninth chord in which the root of the chord is the bass note and the other chord factors are above it. . In the root position, uninverted, of a C-major triad, the bass is C — the root of the triad — with the third and the fifth stacked above it, forming the intervals of a third and a fifth above the root of C, respective

    Inverted seventh chords are similarly denoted by one or two Arabic numerals describing the most characteristic intervals, namely the interval of a second between the 7th and the root: V 7 is the dominant 7th (e.g. G–B–D–F); V 6 5 is its first inversion (B–D–F–G); V 4 3 its second inversion (D–F–G–B); and V 4 2 or V 2 its third ...

  6. Seventh chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_chord

    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 ...

  7. Inversion (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(music)

    Lower-case letters may be placed after a chord symbol to indicate root position or inversion. [6] [page needed] Hence, in the key of C major, a C-major chord in first inversion may be notated as Ib, indicating chord I, first inversion. (Less commonly, the root of the chord is named, followed by a lower-case letter: Cb).

  8. Minor seventh chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_seventh_chord

    In music, a minor seventh chord is a seventh chord composed of a root note, a minor third, a perfect fifth, and a minor seventh (1, ♭ 3, 5, ♭ 7). In other words, one could think of it as a minor triad with a minor seventh attached to it. [2] For example, the minor seventh chord built on A, commonly written as A− 7, has pitches A-C-E-G:

  9. Minor seventh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_seventh

    In music theory, a minor seventh is one of two musical intervals that span seven staff positions. 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 ...
