Suggested Learning Resources
- vii°7/V chords should resolve to V of the key of the piece (or section)
- vii°7/V chords contain two tendency tones
- One tendency tone is the root of the chord (called a temporary leading
tone of the key being tonicized)
- The other tendency tone is the chordal 7th of the vii°7/V
- Avoid doubling the temporary leading tone
- The temporary leading tone resolves up by step
- The chordal 7th resolves down by step
- Use the previous rules for resolving chords
- NOTE: do not double the 3rd of when resolving on the V chord, as that
is the leading tone of the key
- NOTE: The scale degrees involved in this chords are 7, 2, 4, 6 (of the
key being tonicized), It is often good to resolve 4 down by step since it is a chordal
seventh tendency tone of V7, but if it causes voice leading errors like parallel
5ths, it does not have to resolve down by step in this case.
