Inversion notation for Roman numeral analysis depicting both Arabic numeral and Latin letters. Roman numerals are sometimes complemented by Arabic numerals to denote inversion of the chords. The system is similar to that of Figured bass , the Arabic numerals describing the characteristic interval(s) above the bass note of the chord, the figures ...
A notation for chord inversion often used in popular music is to write the name of a chord followed by a forward slash and then the name of the bass note. [4] This is called a slash chord. For example, a C-major chord in first inversion (i.e., with E in the bass) would be notated as "C/E".
The second inversion of a chord is the voicing of a triad, seventh chord, or ninth chord in which the fifth of the chord is the bass note. In this inversion, the bass note and the root of the chord are a fourth apart which traditionally qualifies as a dissonance. There is therefore a tendency for movement and resolution. In notation form, it ...
English: This picture demonstrate two systems in the Roman numeral analysis to notate inversion. Using the number system, the base chord is denoted as I, the first inversion is denoted as I⁶, and the second inversion is denoted as I⁶₄.
The first inversion of a chord is the voicing of a triad, seventh chord, or ninth chord in which the third of the chord is the bass note and the root a sixth above it. [1] In the first inversion of a C-major triad, the bass is E — the third of the triad — with the fifth and the root stacked above it (the root now shifted an octave higher), forming the intervals of a minor third and a minor ...
For instance, if a piano piece had a C major triad in the right hand (C–E–G), with the bass note a G with the left hand, this would be a second inversion C major chord, which would be written G 6 4. If this same C major triad had an E in the bass, it would be a first inversion chord, which would be written E 6
Chord inversions and chords with other altered bass notes are notated analogously to regular slash chord notation. In the key of C, C/E (C major first inversion, with E bass) is written as 1/3; G/B is written as 5/7; Am/G (an inversion of Am7) is written as 6m/5; F/G (F major with G bass) is 4/5. Just as with simple chords, the numbers refer to ...
Due to what is considered the harsh nature of root position diminished chords, the ii ø chord most often appears in first inversion. The ii ø chord appears in the natural minor scale and may be considered a minor seventh chord with a flatted fifth and is used in the ii–V–I in minor [8]
