What is a neighboring 6 4 chord?
Neighbor (n.) 64 involves a static bass above which two of the upper voices perform upper neighbor motion. It typically prolongs tonic or dominant harmonies, and the chords on both sides of it are always in root position.
What is an arpeggiated 6 4?
The arpeggiated 6/4 is the result of a bass line leaping (or arpeggiating), forming different positions of the same harmonic area. The arpeggiated 6/4 is always next to a more stable form of the same Roman numeral.
Can IV6 go to IV?
When the subdominant is in root position, it is unusual to double any chord member other than the root. However, when the chord is in first inversion, any doubling is possible. ... If IV6 simply changes inversion to IV before progressing, then doubling the root is probably a good idea.
