Hi Pedja, thanks for the next assignments !
I am currently working on the triads. But I am cutting in on the practice to answer the 4th assignment questions below :
QUOTE
Example 1
// C / B min / A min / B min / C / B min / A min / G //
I think this is on G Major. With Amin, Bmin and C, C is obviously the IV so G is I. With A min it could have been a C Major as well but in that case B would have been a diminished chord, not minor.
// G Maj / A min / Bmin / C Maj / D Maj / E min / F# dim / G Maj //
QUOTE
Example 2
// D min / G min / C / A min / D min / Bb / C / A min //
This is probably on a F Major. We have a G min and A min so G min is probably the II and A min the III.
Plus, I learned the Circle of Fifth a few weeks ago and if we have a Bb and the A is not flat or sharp then it could be a F or C but if it had been a C then G would have been Major and not minor. Not sure the latest reflection is correct tho.
// F Maj / G min / A min / Bb Maj / C Maj / D min / E dim / F Maj //
QUOTE
Example 3
// F min7 / Eb / Bb7 / Bb7 / F min7 / C min / Eb / Bb7 / Bb7 //
This is probably on Eb Major. We have a Bb 7 so it's probably the V and consequently the key is Eb.
// Eb Maj7 / F min7 / G min7 / Ab Maj 7 / Bb 7 / C min7 / D min7b5 / Eb Maj7 //
QUOTE
Example 4
// Eb maj7 / D min7 / G min7 / F7 / Eb maj7 / C min7 / Bb maj7 / F7 //
Here, we have F7 which is probably the V so it's probably a Bb Major key.
// Bb Maj 7 / C min7 / D min7 / Eb Maj7 / F7 / G min7 / A min7b5 / Bb Maj7 //
QUOTE
Example 5
// D maj7 / B min7 / E min7 / A7 / D maj7 / F# min7 / G maj7 / A7 //
Once again, I start from the A7 which is probably the V and go down to D Maj7 as the key.
// D Maj7 / E min7 / F# min7 / G Maj7 / A7 / B min7 / C# min7b5 / D Maj7 //
I still have a question about Cadences. I still can't understand why, in the case of your example (C Major) we talk about D Dorian as I IV and I IImin.
First, why don't we write that I min IV and I min II min ?
Second, why do we talk about I and not II as we still have C as a reference ? I find that pretty confusing and not very logical. I probably miss something here...
