CHORDS IN THE LIGHT OF THEIR ORIGIN 251 



In most other relations these secondaries are heard 

 as simple chords. Surprising and noteworthy are the 

 facts first, that the triad vi is at once a minor triad 

 and a compound of two primary major triads ; second, 

 that the triad VI is at once a major triad and a com- 

 pound of two primary minor triads. The two asterisk- 

 biads in the ninth and tenth measures of our parallel 

 examples represent the triads in question and report 

 them as compound. 



Next follows the analysis of the supertonic triads 

 II in major and ii^ in minor.
