G7: - G major 7th chord-arpeggio / scale with the 3rd in the bass / !st Inversion G7: - G major 7th chord-arpeggio / scale (as Dominant 7th chord to tonic C major) I am aware that there are these two ways of analysing.Ĭ: - C major triad-arpeggio / scale (or parts of it indicating the key)Ĭm: - C minor triad-arpeggio / scale (or parts of it indicating the key) The functional analysis relates also to the Baroque way of composing and hearing Baroque music. An analysis like II minor - or II major does not mean much but the Dominant of the Dominant can be heard, and so can the relative minor to the Subdominant. Like Tonic and Dominant, even if it gets complicated, because in my own perception this is what I hear.Į.g. (Another way of identification also used would be to identify the chord as steps of the scale, like I and II according to the key of the piece. Secondly I state the function of the chord within the key of the piece. In my analysis I firstly state the key of the harmony and the specifics of the chord / triad.

I enjoy to do an analysis like doing a hobby - but the practical effect is as little as pulling a poem apart, which does not help reading it convincingly or understanding it.įor interpretation I strongly recomment to consult rather the chapters below on "dynamic mapping" - diagnosing the inherent elements, which show us the inner guidelines, Quotation and references for the use of any material from this site needs to state the author of this website.Īny use of material of this site for publication is only permitted after arrangement with the author.Įmail: have so often been contacted with the question regarding anharmonic analysis of Prelude 1 and 3 of the Cello Suites!Īs interesting as this may be, I can't emphasise enough, that such an analysis does not help much in the way of interpretation!
