What is an extended chord tone?
In music, extended chords are certain chords (built from thirds) or triads with notes extended, or added, beyond the seventh. Ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth chords are extended chords. ... Chords extended beyond the seventh are rarely seen in the Baroque era, and are used more frequently in the Classical era.
What are leading chords?
A leading-tone chord is a triad built on the seventh scale degree in major and the raised seventh-scale-degree in minor. The quality of the leading-tone triad is diminished in both major and minor keys.
How do you resolve a secondary leading tone chord?
As with secondary dominant chords, secondary leading tone chords should be resolved just like you learned to resolve diminished chords in diatonic harmony: leading tones should be resolved up to their tonics, and sevenths, if present, should resolve down by step. Parallels should be avoided.
