Yes, you are correct, except the Bb7 chord here replaces E7 going to A (or to D/A, the cadential 6/4 that is really an A chord with two suspensions. I imagine the next chord is D7/A, rather than D7 root position?). One of the problems with chord symbols is that they don't always reflect the exac

I should clarify.. I was running with Darcy's scheme of basing the chief on Ab. I would rather base it on a D as D7(b5). This defines it a secondary dominant chord II and will produce a relevant scale related to C major with just the actual 6th altered. Steve P. On 2 Oct 2011, at 07:37, Stev
