THE NATURE OF MUSIC 



harmonies I — ^V, against which TH + 2 (minor) is a 

 complex of the triads KZ — F, TH predominating, and 

 a compound of the harmonies / — F. In c) the chord 

 II + 2 (major) is a complex of the triads ii — IV, ii 

 predominating, and a compound of the harmonies 

 V — IV, against which //° + 2 (minor) is a complex of 

 the triads ll° — iv, ii^ predominating, and a compound 

 of the harmonies F — iv. 



Analysts do not agree on the chord in the opening 

 measures of Beethoven's Sonata Op. 31 No. 3. This 

 chord is ii + 2 in its 5 position, the one above in c), 

 as shown in our next illustration. Most of these 

 chords appear both in major and minor, their har- 

 monic reports varying as their relations are changed. 

 Thus, for example, the chord vi + 2 (above in major) 

 appears in minor where it becomes / + 2. This is 

 exemplified below in the opening measures of Bee- 

 thoven's Sonata Op. 27 No. 2.
