Question

Pre-dominant chords like Neapolitan, subdominant, and supertonic chords are named as such due to their frequent resolution to the dominant chord, which is built on the scale degree of this number. For 10 points each:
[10e] Give this number whose scale degree makes up a major triad along with the root and major third. Playing only the black keys on a piano yields a scale named for having this many notes.
ANSWER: five [accept perfect fifth; accept pentatonic scale]
[10h] The chromatic tension in this family of pre-dominant chords resolves outward by a half step to the dominant. In C major, one of these chords rooted on A-flat contains an F-sharp.
ANSWER: augmented sixth [or A6; accept Italian sixth, French sixth, or German sixth]
[10m] This chord has been interpreted as a French sixth chord consisting of the notes F, B, D-sharp, and an appoggiatura G-sharp resolving to A. This dissonant chord finally resolves during a work’s “love-death” scene.
ANSWER: Tristan chord
