According to "The Complete Chromatic Harmony & Tension Course 2026," what is the primary sonic effect achieved by the judicious use of secondary dominants in a chromatic harmony context, and what is a common pitfall to avoid when implementing them?
They create a sense of surprise and unexpectedness, but overusing them can lead to harmonic stagnation.
They provide a brief but powerful harmonic detour, enhancing the emotional landscape, but are best reserved for climactic moments.
They momentarily tonicize a chord other than the tonic, thereby increasing harmonic motion and anticipation, but should not be applied to chords within the same key.
They intensify the pull towards the target chord, creating a stronger sense of arrival, but should be avoided in modal contexts.
