  3. Inversion (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(music)

    An interval is inverted by raising or lowering either of the notes by one or more octaves so that the higher note becomes the lower note and vice versa. For example, the inversion of an interval consisting of a C with an E above it (the third measure below) is an E with a C above it – to work this out, the C may be moved up, the E may be lowered, or both may be moved.

  4. Second inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_inversion

    In figured bass, a second-inversion triad is a 6 4 chord (as in I 6 4), while a second-inversion seventh chord is a 4 3 chord. Inversions are not restricted to the same number of tones as the original chord, nor to any fixed order of tones except with regard to the interval between the root, or its octave, and the bass note, hence, great ...

  5. Inversions higher than third - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversions_higher_than_third

    The fourth inversion of a ninth chord is the voicing in which the ninth of the chord is the bass note and the root a minor seventh above it. In the fourth inversion of a G-dominant ninth, the bass is A — the ninth of the chord — with the third, fifth, seventh, and root stacked above it, forming the intervals of a second, a fourth, a sixth, and a seventh above the inverted bass of A ...

    Helmholtz describes the diminished triad as 1 − D | F, giving a just minor third and Pythagorean minor third (45:54:64) in the notation system used in On the Sensations of Tone as a Physiological Basis for the Theory of Music.

  7. Neapolitan chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_chord

    In B minor, the resemblance between the subdominant (E-G-B) and the Neapolitan (E-G-C) is even stronger since only one note differs by a half-step. (The Neapolitan is also only a half-step away from the diminished supertonic triad in minor in first inversion, E-G-C ♯, and thus lies chromatically between the two primary subdominant function ...

  8. Half-diminished seventh chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-diminished_seventh_chord

    Half-diminished seventh chords are often symbolized as a circle with a diagonal line through it, as in B ø 7 or simply B ø. It also can be represented as a minor seventh chord with a superscript "♭ 5" (sometimes enclosed in parentheses). The terms and symbols for this chord break expectations that derive from the usual system of chord ...

  9. First inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_inversion

    The first inversion of a chord is the voicing of a triad, seventh chord, or ninth chord in which the third of the chord is the bass note and the root a sixth above it. [1] In the first inversion of a C-major triad, the bass is E — the third of the triad — with the fifth and the root stacked above it (the root now shifted an octave higher), forming the intervals of a minor third and a minor ...
