In the context of functional harmony as presented in "The Complete Functional Harmony & Chord Progressions Course 2026," what is the primary role of the dominant seventh chord (V7) in establishing tonal gravity, and how does its inherent tritone resolution contribute to this?
The V7 chord's primary function is to introduce modal color, and its tritone resolution primarily creates harmonic ambiguity.
The V7 chord's main purpose is to act as a pivot chord, facilitating modulation, and its tritone resolution is secondary to its role in harmonic transitions.
The V7 chord's primary function is to establish a temporary harmonic plateau, and its tritone resolution is primarily ornamental.
The V7 chord's primary role is to create a sense of tension that strongly pulls towards the tonic, with the tritone's resolution being a crucial element in resolving this tension towards stability.

Considering the advanced concepts in "The Complete Functional Harmony & Chord Progressions Course 2026," how does the Neapolitan chord (bII) function within a major key, particularly in its common inversions, to create a distinct harmonic color and prepare for dominant function?
The Neapolitan chord serves as a deceptive cadence, creating surprise by resolving to a chord other than the tonic, and its inversion status is largely irrelevant to its function.
The Neapolitan chord, most commonly in first inversion (N6), functions as a pre-dominant chord that possesses a unique, often poignant or dramatic quality, and strongly prepares for the dominant chord, often through a specific voice-leading path.
The Neapolitan chord, typically in root position, functions as a pre-dominant chord that directly resolves to the dominant seventh, offering a mild harmonic contrast.
The Neapolitan chord's primary role is to introduce chromaticism for its own sake, with no specific functional relationship to the dominant or tonic.

In "The Complete Functional Harmony & Chord Progressions Course 2026," what distinguishes a secondary dominant chord from a tonic or pre-dominant chord in terms of its harmonic purpose and voice leading within a functional harmonic framework?
Secondary dominants are ornamental embellishments with no direct functional impact on the harmonic progression.
Secondary dominants function as substitute chords for the subdominant, offering a more complex harmonic texture without altering the overall key.
Secondary dominants are primarily used to reinforce the tonic chord's stability, and their voice leading typically involves smooth, diatonic progressions.
Secondary dominants temporarily tonicize a chord other than the tonic of the main key, creating a heightened sense of tension that resolves to that temporary tonic, and their voice leading often includes chromatic alterations.
