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.

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.

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 ed wbenev'er the initinr sca'e wields tfi** • and ie nee . and rgben the inino 1 ’ is thu* controlling tfl** chords and influence, the maj r ami caused to v u; (I power to the mso-ti • ‘BW* ‘uod in the mi ior htddm.’ its bold ami -I;vlgaa d I • refideieil ol milfl’ ® soon I •n ij r rh rd compar ed with No other sound pro duces such a chord throughout the scale as th - s;h nr dominant sound of the ms jtr -cale.
