What does EB F mean?
Guitar Chord: Eb/F(Eb chord with F in the bass)
What is the harmonic function of the supertonic?
The supertonic chord normally functions as a predominant chord, a chord that naturally resolves to chord with dominant function. The supertonic chord lies a fifth above the V chord. Descending fifths are a strong basis for harmonic motion (see circle of fifths).
What are the three harmonic functions?
Each of the three harmonic functions — tonic (T), subdominant (S), and dominant (D) — have characteristic scale degrees.
What is a harmonic function in music?
Harmonic function refers to the tendency of certain chords to progress to other chords, or to remain at rest. Many texts on music theory enumerate three harmonic functions.
