What are the ‘rules’?
Harmonic function in major is really straightforward to understand. The VII chord does not have the leading tone so is it a good cadence chord? What about the ii°? I like to use that as a cadence chord back to i but I’ve never seen it refered to. Why? I think it works just as well as vii° to I.
Also as far as Tonic - Subdominant - Dominant how does that work in minor. Is i-iv-v the same as i_IV-V? How?
What about secondary chords in minor? Any rules there?
Thanks much
