Well, D# may not occur as the tonal center of a key, but it occurs as a
horizontal scale step in some keys (E Minor, F# Minor). Anyway, it's a
rather difficult to decide what momentary tonal center exactly rules at
each particular position in a piece. It also depends on the vertical
scales being used. This decision should be left to the
composer/transcriber. I believe it is a good thing if chord root tones are able to express the full pitch vocabulary, even with double sharps/flats. This way a composer can decide what the actual meaning of the chord should be. Andre [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I haven't heard of the key of D#, but if it did exist it would contain two double sharps. All chord symbols are named by convention. As for the root relating to the key signature; I doubt it, because musical compositions contain many tonal center shifts - hence accidentals. The root of a chord symbol and is related more to the the momentary tonal (key) center, not necessarily the written key signature.-----Original Message-----From: Andre Schnoor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Aug 9, 2006 5:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: triangle chord notation Michael J Millett wrote: |
