The The 57 of 4 harmony

Roman numeral code: V7 / IV

Scale notes: 1, 3, 5, b7
Mode: major

A ributes: impelling forward

The transi on from 1 to 4 is made more drama c by interposing 57 of

4:

1 -> 57 of 4 -> 4

This sequence solidly establishes the 4 because 57 of 4 strongly

an cipates and leads into 4.

57 of 4 is the same chord as 17, which is 1 with a ed note 7 added

(for example, B at in the key of C). While this note does not belong to
the key of 1, it does belong to the key of 4.
