Counter parallel

Counter sounds ( or even counter- parallels ) are among the secondary triads of a key. You are terzverwandt with the major triads of a key (upper ) and in the theory of functions by the letter " g" (counter parallel in minor to major main function), or "G" (counter parallel in major to minor principal function ) denotes that directly are written next to the corresponding main function names referred to by the Gegenklang:

  • Tonikagegenklang: Tg on the ( large ) III. Stage, tG on the ( small ) VI. stage
  • Dominant Gegenklang: Dg on the ( large ) Level VII, dG on the ( small ) III. stage
  • Subdominantgegenklang: Sg on the ( large ) VI. Stage, sG on the ( small ) level II

On the major third of the major triad of the corresponding counter sound is made with the diatonic tones of the key. The other sounds are located in major always above the main triad, in minor but below the major triad.

Example: The Gegenklang of C major is E minor, which Gegenklang of D major is F # minor. In the minor Gegenklang of a minor reversed F major, d minor is seen in B flat major.

Use of counterpart sounds

Counter sounds have two common tones with the main triad to which they relate. In the major Tonikagegenklang Tg does not contain (as opposed to Tonikaparallele Tp) the root of the main function in a minor key, the opposite is the case. Therefore a fallacy in the minor will be held with the Tonikagegenklang tG. Ex: D - tG. In G minor: D - E-flat major

The Tonikagegenklang Tg / tG is generally of the opposite sounds the most common use.

In the minor Dominant Gegenklang dG is identical to the Tonikaparallele tP what eg A minor C major (dG ) = C major ( tP ) would result. tP has become generally established as a designation for this case.

In major derivations of the dominant counter sound and Subdominantgegenklangs lead far out of the key and are therefore rare.

Another type of terzverwandten side triads are the same sounds.
