Subdominant parallel

The Subdominantparallele is the parallel of the subdominant and can replace it in the cadence. In major keys, the subdominant at the IV stage is a major chord; their parallel is therefore of minor chord on the second degree ( in the tonic C major D minor as a parallel to F major, name Sp). In minor keys the subdominant at the IV stage is a minor chord; their parallel is therefore of major chord on the VI. Level ( in the tonic C minor: flat major as a parallel to F minor, name sP ).

The use of the Subdominantparallelen in major keys frequently occurs. The cadence T -Sp- DT was by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example, often used (see Mozart cadenza ). In minor keys the Subdominantparallele other hand, is rarely used. The chord on the VI. Level is in minor keys at the same time the tonic Gegenklang and dive more into this function in the fallacy on.
