What is leading note and what does it mean to raise a note? Leading note (or tone) refers to the 7th note in the major scale It's always one semitone below the root, which gives its name to the key So, in key C, that note's B Resolution is 'coming home comfortably' Try playing some notes in key C, and stop on a B It feels like you're nearly home, but need one more step
Can the leading note resolve down? - Music: Practice Theory Stack . . . 9 You're absolutely right! The typical rule is that the leading tone must resolve up to tonic when it is in an outer voice (that is, the soprano or bass) If the leading tone is in an inner voice, it can resolve down a third to the fifth of the tonic chord (a so-called "sprung" or "frustrated" leading tone) Bach occasionally leaps the leading
Leading Bass note - Music: Practice Theory Stack Exchange 1 I'm having trouble understanding whether there is such a term as a leading bass note Suppose there are three instruments: piano, bass and guitar The piano plays A in bass and A,E,G in right hand The bass plays F note below piano A The guitar plays an FM7: F,A,C,E chord In result we get notes F,A,C,E,G but what chord is that if piano
Dominant Chord in minor key - Music: Practice Theory Stack Exchange The leading note is the seventh degree of the major - and minor - when that note is one semitone below the l, tonic, or root It's called leading as it suggests a tendency to rise to the tonic next However, it loses that propensity when it's lowered, as in some minors, and subsequently gets called the 'flattened leading note'
Chord progressions : which note resolves to which note The leading tone chord with a seventh is also a especially pretty sounding chord They resolve to the note one space down So for instance in the key C Major the Super Tonic chord with its seventh will have the notes D-F-A-C No the C is the seventh note it needs to be lowered to resolve
chord theory - Leading tone and resolving tension - Music: Practice . . . As Tim points out there is the V7 chord, in the key of C this is GBDF The movement of V7 --> I has 2 half step movements B-->C and F-->E which further strengthens the feeling of tension and resolution In your example of EGB --> CEG, iii --> I, the iii chord is a natural extension of the I as it creates the major seventh chord, CEGB
note or tone? - Music: Practice Theory Stack Exchange The phrase "leading tone" is probably not phrased in the best way since it is a half step (or semi tone) below the tonic To be 100% clear one can use the phrase "Leading Note" Or just realize that language is full of inconsistencies and just remember that the leading tone is just a name and may not fit the technical definition of Tone in all
theory - Why are subdominants unstable? - Music: Practice Theory . . . A leading note will seek resolution to its tonic due to their semitone relation Let's use the example of C-major: B seeks resolution to C as a lower leading tone, as they are merely a semitone away In much the same way, F seeks to resolve to E as an upper leading tone, as it also is a mere semitone distant from it Naturally occurring semitones
Mediant, submediant, and minor keys - Music: Practice Theory Stack . . . The leading note tone is always going to be a semitone under the tonic In a minor key known as the subtonic It would appear that the same terms are used for all three minor scale notes, but written such as 'the mediant of the melodic minor
