What does a 7th chord resolve to?
The dominant seventh chord resolves to a major or minor chord whose root is a perfect fifth below its root.
Why does V7 resolve to I?
If you have a four-voice V7 to I progression (both chords root position) where the V7 chord contains all four notes (we call that “complete”) and the leading tone is in the soprano, the correct resolution will create a tripled root. This is often referred to as “complete to incomplete.”
How do you make a 7th?
Seventh chords are built by extending triadic construction to include a fourth voice. A triad consists of two stacked thirds. A seventh chord simply adds a diatonic third above the fifth of the triad—or, in other words, a seventh above the root.
What does a minor 7 resolve to?
The most common occurrence of the minor seventh is built on the root of the prevailing key's dominant triad, producing the all-important dominant seventh chord. Consonance and dissonance are relative, depending on context, the minor seventh being defined as a dissonance requiring resolution to a consonance.
