Brainlag MusicTelling the chromatic chords of the course apart by the accidental each one brings.
The accidental tells you
| Accidental | Chord | Look also for |
|---|---|---|
| a flattened supertonic | Neapolitan sixth | the subdominant in the bass |
| a flattened submediant in the bass, a sharpened subdominant above | an augmented sixth | the fourth note: none, the supertonic, or the flattened mediant |
| a sharpened subdominant, the bass not the flattened submediant | V of V | the supertonic as its root |
All three are pre-dominants: they come just before V (or Ic), so look for them before a cadence.
