1 Chapter : Wesite Exercise Solutions Wesite Exercise Solutions Chapter Musical Density: Triads, Seventh Chords, and Texture 1 Exercise 1: Each given pitch can function as the root, third, or fifth of major, minor, and diminished triads as shon in the sample solution. On a separate sheet of manuscript paper, notate and lael the nine possile triads that can e generated from each given pitch. Example: G GM g g E¼ e e C c c¾ C. D. Exercise 2: Identify the root, type of triad (major, minor, diminished, or augmented), and inversion (if any). Then, transpose each given sonority don a perfect fifth or its compound (or up a perfect fourth, or its compound), notating it on the given empty staff (aove or elo). gm C. D. E. F. G. Exercise : Error detection. Each of the folloing laeled triads is notated ith various doulings. Hoever, one of the pitch classes in each example is incorrect. Circle and correct the error in each example. C. D. E. F. G. D B A CMajor e o c a

Each triad notated elo can occur in several keys (see the sample solution, in hich an E minor triad is found in at least six different keys). Notate the given triad, the key, the key signature, and the Roman numeral of every major and minor key in hich the given triad may occur. se a separate sheet of manuscript paper. sample solution n : iv n n C: iii D: ii e: i G: vi a: v C. D. E. F. G. Exercise : Analysis. A major or minor key is given as ell as a triad. Add accidentals necessary to conform to the given key (do not add a key signature) and a Roman numeral and figured ass analysis. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L.
