ABSTRACT
Dominant chords play the important musical role of defining the Tonic. Diatonic chords containing https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315167749/87589aa0-fefc-4a15-9183-3352305db7a3/content/7-circ.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> have a strong attraction to chords containing https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315167749/87589aa0-fefc-4a15-9183-3352305db7a3/content/1-circ.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>, and these chords often include dissonant sevenths and tritones that intensify the pull toward Tonic. Certain chromatic chords behave like Dominants and cause triads other than I to briefly sound like Tonic.
