Harmonic Cells

1

Harmonic cell 1 demonstrates a tonicization of the dominant key.


2

Like harmonic cell 1, harmonic cell 2 demonstrates a tonicization of the dominant key but does so with a V7.


3

Like harmonic cells 1 and 2, harmonic cell 3 demonstrates a tonicization of the dominant key but does so with a V65.


4

Harmonic cell 4 tonicizes the dominant key and, because it uses a V42, must resolve to a first-inversion triad.


5

Harmonic cell 5 demonstrates preceding the dominant tonicization using the iiº6 chord.


6

Harmonic cell 6 demonstrates preceding the dominant tonicization using the iv chord.


7

Harmonic cell 7 demonstrates preceding the dominant with a secondary viiº7 chord. Notice the ascending chromatic pitches in the bass voice and melodic cell 1 in the soprano voice.


8

Harmonic cell 8 demonstrates preceding the dominant with a secondary viiº65 chord.


9

Harmonic cell 9 demonstrates preceding the dominant with a secondary viiº43 chord. Take note that this specific progression must resolve to a V6 chord.


10

Harmonic cell 10 demonstrates preceding the dominant with a secondary viiº7 chord. Notice the ascending chromatic pitches in the bass voice


11

Harmonic cell 11 demonstrates preceding the dominant with a secondary viiº65 chord.


12

Harmonic cell 12 demonstrates preceding the dominant with a secondary viiº43 chord. Take note that this specific progression must resolve to a V6 chord.
