Exercise 18.3
A. B. C.
(Uncorrected)
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.
A. B. C.
(Corrected)
F: V⁷/IV D: V⁶/ii a: V⁷/VI
_
D. E. F.
(Uncorrected)
C:
V⁷/iii G:
V⁶/ii f:
V⁷/VI
(Corrected) V⁶₅/IV V⁴₃/VI V⁶₅/III
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.
