Sonata Pathétique

[edit]

The first part of the sonata Pathetique is in C-minor and the so called predominant-chord from 169-199 is G... which is actually the dominant chord! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.97.199.166 (talk) 03:01, 30 April 2010

vi

[edit]

Sorry, but a VI (vi) chord does not have a predominant function in tonal harmony. It is actually used as tonic expansion or as a tonic substitute. It precedes the dominant chords the same way that tonic chords often precede dominant chords. VI (vi) chords are usually found as voice-leading phenomenon anyway - hardly a predominant.

I64

[edit]

The submediant is uncited, what is the problem with second inversion tonic (I64)? Hyacinth (talk) 02:24, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
