View answer and explanationWhat is the quality of the leading-tone seventh chord (vii°7) in a minor key?
View answer and explanationHow many tritones does a fully diminished seventh chord (vii°7) contain?
View answer and explanationIf all the resolution tendencies of the two tritones in a vii°7 chord are followed when resolving to a tonic triad in four parts, what is the most likely result in the tonic triad?
View answer and explanationWhat is the typical resolution for the vii°6/5 chord in a minor key?
View answer and explanationIn what context is the subtonic seventh chord (VII7) in minor generally used?
View answer and explanationThe resolution of the vii°4/2 chord is generally to a V7 chord or what other chord?
View answer and explanationWhat is the most common approach for the 7th of a chord, as mentioned in Chapter 14?
View answer and explanationIn the context of a plagal cadence, the iik6/5 chord in Example 14-5 is said to have a close resemblance to which diatonic triad?
View answer and explanationAn alternative explanation for the iik6/5 chord in Example 14-5 is that it functions as what type of chord?
View answer and explanationIn composers' practice, which dissonant motion involving scale degrees is sometimes used in the resolution of a vii°7 chord, potentially resulting in unequal 5ths?
View answer and explanationWhich resolution of an inverted leading-tone seventh chord in major is described as 'quite rare' and not shown in Example 14-6?
View answer and explanationThe resolution of a viik7 can be handled carefully to avoid parallel 5ths. What is the other main resolution of an inverted leading-tone seventh that must also be handled carefully for the same reason?
View answer and explanationWhat is the primary difference in chord quality between the leading-tone seventh chord in major versus minor?
View answer and explanationThe resolution viik6/5 to I in major is not shown to contain parallel 5ths. What similar resolution in a minor key (vii°6/5 to i) is problematic because it creates unequal 5ths?

View answer and explanationAccording to the summary, the most crucial aspect of part-writing supertonic and leading-tone seventh chords is what?
View answer and explanationIn Example 14-2, the resolution of the ii7 to V may be delayed by the appearance of what chord?

View answer and explanationWhich diatonic chord may represent the V chord, allowing the ii7 to resolve to it instead of directly to V?
View answer and explanationThe leading-tone seventh chord in major (viik7) possesses a dominant function and normally resolves to the tonic. What other chord may it move to first?
View answer and explanationWhy does the resolution of a vii°6/5 to a root position 'i' chord create unequal 5ths?

View answer and explanationWhat does the CHECKPOINT section identify as the chord that the ii7 tends to be followed by?
View answer and explanationWhat does the CHECKPOINT section identify as the chord that the vii°7 tends to be followed by?
