In the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;where the first tone is C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;C major seventh:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or the C major ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are all suitable options for the tonic chord or 1-chord.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-chord resonates with the key and is the most stable chord in the key. However, it is established by the dominant chord (aka &#8211; &#8220;the 5-chord&#8221;). Therefore, when the 1-chord is preceded by the 5-chord, a key is <em>harmonically<\/em> established.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the fact that chord movement from the 5-chord to the 1-chord is known as the 5-1 chord progression, we can say that a key is harmonically established by the 5-1 chord progression.<\/p>\n<p>The key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be harmonically established by the movement from the 5-chord (which is the G dominant seventh chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,D,F,G,B,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the 1-chord (which is the C major triad):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIn the same vein, the key of Ab major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be harmonically established by the movement from the 5-chord (which is the Eb dominant seventh chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,Db,Eb,G,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the 1-chord (which is the Ab major triad):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,Eb,Ab,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, a key can basically be established by the dominant chord (aka &#8211; &#8220;the 5-chord&#8221;) because when it is played, the only chord it leads to is the 1-chord.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Now That You&#8217;ve Learned How To Establish A Key&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Endeavor to establish a key by consciously playing the 5-chord before the 1-chord.<\/p>\n<p>To establish the key of E major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Fs,Gs,A,B,Cs,Ds,E,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;it is important that the B dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,A,B,Ds,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is played before the E major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gs,B,E,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Harmonic Approach To The Contradiction Of A Key<\/h2>\n<p>To contradict a prevalent key, implies the establishment of a new key. For example, if the prevalent key is C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the key of C major can be contradicted by the establishment of a new key; which can either be foreign or related to the prevalent key.<\/p>\n<p>To contradict the prevalent key, the dominant chord (aka &#8211; &#8220;the 5-chord&#8221;) of the new key should be played. Playing the dominant chord of the new key creates an anticipation for the tonic chord (aka &#8211; &#8220;the 1-chord&#8221;). For example, if the prevalent key is A major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,B,Cs,D,E,Fs,Gs,A,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;it can be contradicted by the 5-chord of the new key. Let&#8217;s say the new key is F major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E,F,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe key of A major can only be contradicted by the 5-chord in the key of F major (which is the C dominant ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,G,Bb,D,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, the C dominant ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,G,Bb,D,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;contradicts the key of A major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,B,Cs,D,E,Fs,Gs,A,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and creates an anticipation for the tonic chord in the key of F major (which is the F major ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,E,G,A,C,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>The establishment and contradiction of a key can be harmonically approached using the 5-chord or dominant chord and that&#8217;s why the dominant chord is one of the most important chords in music; second only to the 1-chord.<\/p>\n<p>In a subsequent lesson, we&#8217;ll be covering the concept of modulation.<\/p>\n<p>See you then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how to establish or contradict a key in this
