  • The next chord begins on the III chord in B minor; thinking in D minor, what is the III chord?

  • Since III consistently alternates with its dominant, assume a key change to D major; the III now becomes a I chord
  • In D minor, its III now becomes I as well; what key is that?

  • Study the 2 alternating chords as before, thinking in the new key
  • The pattern breaks when the LH root of the I chord descends a whole step to form a dominant 7th (V7/IV)
  • The V4-2/IV then resloves to IV6
  • Think through this series of chords in the transposed key (F major)
