Q1Domain Verified
In the context of advanced harmonic analysis, what is the primary significance of identifying a secondary dominant, beyond its function as a temporary tonicization?
It indicates a direct modulation to a new key that will be sustained for at least a full phrase.
It creates a stronger pull towards its temporary tonic, often leading to more complex cadential resolutions or deceptive cadences.
It primarily serves to obscure the underlying diatonic progression for pedagogical purposes.
Its sole purpose is to add chromatic color without altering the functional harmonic motion.
Q2Domain Verified
When analyzing a passage employing modal interchange, what is the most critical distinction between a borrowed chord used as a passing chord and one used for modal emphasis?
Passing chords are always minor, while emphasis chords are always major.
Passing chords resolve immediately to a chord within the original key, while emphasis chords establish a temporary modal center.
Passing chords are derived from the parallel major, while emphasis chords are derived from the parallel minor.
Emphasis chords are typically preceded by their own secondary dominant, while passing chords are not.

In the "Harmonic Analysis Notation Hub," the concept of "tritone substitution" is presented as more than just a harmonic device; it's a foundation for understanding functional equivalence. What is the core functional equivalence that allows a tritone substitute (e.g., Db7 for G7) to function as a dominant?
The tritone substitute has a stronger tendency to resolve upwards by a half step, mimicking the root movement of the original dominant.
The tritone substitute's leading tone resolves down by a half step, while the original dominant's leading tone resolves up.
Both chords share the same root, creating an identical harmonic foundation.
Both chords contain the same tritone interval, which is the defining characteristic of a dominant seventh chord and its resolution.
