Mr. Superintendent —As I have taken
up the subject of the dominant 7di in
funner article, I think nothiul huld pie*
vent me having another hearing upuii the
same •ut.j**ct.
Y *u will remember the former position
that I assumed. 1 denied any import-
- ance being attached to accidental fl
sharps. I Imw already that “sharp
jng the seventh sound of the minor scale
t* an artificial composition,” ind that it has
nothing to do with the cun post! inti or
harm >ny of either cale— naj >r or tr.ifjpr.
But ina much m the sharping *u >j*cT is
up I mti-t defend inv position, as I am
s onewhat inf j die engagement.
i think I -half be able to piove th t the
seventh sound in the minor scale i the
note th-at is now und< r tliscn*sin. I
contended in my former article, that the
-eventh sou <d in the minor scale was,
j and is termed, the and •n>i i in‘ 7lh. I mu*t
not siy this without bringing proof to its
support. Iwi l now a*k. upon wlut priu*
oiple are all chords formed ? Are {h**v i
formed at randan, 01 are they formed
according to rule? If th*y are formed
by mere chance, a person imv wii'e anv
kind of lli-*nry he pleases ; but if chor<fs
are firmed upon principle, then they
must confine themselves to rule. It nth- J
erw ise, let iis nut ,down principle and go
accouliug to rule.
I fi id that all sounds are taken from
the predomiuati g chord ol either of the
-cale*, attf not that the dominant 7th or
any sound is tak *n or reckoned from the
sth of the scales, as Mr. Holcombe has
written. Alt sounds count horn one, and
none rest their hirinony upon any other
foundation dun that of the ky.
I hope | may not be considered <1 du
deJ because I assume this principle.-
None ran doubt or dare dispute this argil •
ment.'*‘ Ttiert I’ll contend that the domi
nant 7<h does rest its harmony and count
Irotn, the strong chord of the minor mode,
land that it is the uo'e usually shr;ed
( tbeie can be but lit'fe doubt. Th >*e that
j have given this sunject catelul thought
lw i I find that I a n correct in thi ih n'.
! No reason ot a sane nature would di< tit>-
j anv odier principle than that all souii-L
are proittced from th * key nr foundation
ol a scale. \ly opinion in relitioii to the
sba piuz of Mte seventh sound is simply
ibis: Tne major sca’ep become deshtO'i
