What is the secondary dominant of D minor?
The dominant chord in D Minor is A Major, the secondary dominant. Remember, A Major is a secondary dominant because it is not a chord found in the tonic key (F Major). Since D Minor is the sixth scale degree in the key of F Major, this secondary dominant chord would be labeled as V/vi.
Can you have a minor secondary dominant?
Dominant is G, with all notes belonging to C, but the secondary dominant is D7, with an F#. ... The only case where no alterations are needed (excluding modal music) would be in a minor key where you are tonicizing the III (the relative major), because that's where the naturally occurring dominant chord would appear.
What types of triads can be Tonicized by secondary dominants?
The triads that can be tonicized are III, iv, v, VI and VII. Like in major, there is one place where the secondary V triad is just a regular triad in the key: in minor keys it is the V/III, which is just the diatonic triad VII.
What do secondary dominant chords resolve to?
In jazz harmony, a secondary dominant is any dominant seventh chord which occurs on a weak beat and resolves downward by a perfect fifth. Thus, a chord is a secondary dominant when it functions as the dominant of some harmonic element other than the key's tonic and resolves to that element.
