Exercise 18.3

(Uncorrected)

F: V⁷/IV D: V⁶/ii a: V⁷/VI

Uncorrected A tries to use a major seventh chord instead of a minor seventh chord as the dominant of IV. We
can easily fix this by changing the E to an Eb.

In B, we want to lead to an E Minor chord, but we cannot do so unless we have a leading tone. The D must bec-
ome a D#.


It is more natural for uncorrected C to lead to a sharp VI chord than to the natural VI of A Minor. So, we shift
all of the notes in the chord down by a semitone.

The main issue with D, E, and F is that the original labels do not describe where the chord wants to lead. Also,
the voicing of seventh chords is not labeled correctly based on the root note.

G: V⁷/V V d: V⁶/iv iv Eb: V⁷/iii iii


In G, we have a voice leading problem. The leading tone doesn't resolve through stepwise motion, which weak-
ens the cadence. There is also a direct fifth in the soprano and tenor that can be avoided just through resolving
the leading tone.
