Keyboard Harmony and Transposition.
FOREWORD.
In spite of the fact that the study of Harmony is pursued very generally at the
present time by the more serious piano students,comparatively few arrive at the point
where harmony becomes a factor in their musical experience- where theory and
practice occupy the proper relation to each other. Pupils are frequently advised to
test their harmonic knowledge at the keyboard; but, lacking systematic material,
such practice is necesSarily spasmodic and the progress made is unsatisfactory.
Even organists seeking church engagements are generally deficient in the ability to
transpQSe .
The present work presupposes a knowledge of the Major and Minor Scales, and
the technical ability to play the exercises and illustrations. Aknowledge of harmony
is not a prerequisite, as it is quite feasible to study Harmony and “Transposition” at
the same time.
Beginning with the Tonic Triad, every chord is illustrated first by a simple ex
ercise and then by one or more excerpts from piano literature, showing how the
chord is used in actual composition. Every exercise and illustration is to be trans
posed into every other key. The more difficult illustrations may be left, if desired,
until the book is revieWed, using only the easier ones for the first reading.
From the first a short task is to be assigned for daily practice in connection with
the piano lesson and to be played as a part of the regular lesson. New work must
not be taken up until this task can be played fluently in every key.When the course
has been completed in this manner, the student will have a practical knowledge of
foundational harmony at fingers’ ends, and be expert in ordinary transposition and
modulation; he will be prepared to take up Modern Harmony, Composition, and Ex~
temporization .
Incidentally, musical memory will be strengthened. After any extract has been
played in a number of keys, it will be found that it has been memorized unconcious
ly, and playing in the remainder\ of the keys can be done with very little reference to
the notes. This discovery contains a valuable hint: In any piece, any passage that
is troublesome to memorize can be learned readily after the harmonic structure is
understood well enough to play it in several keys.

PRINCIPAL TRIADS.
TONIC TRIADS, MAJOR AND MINOR.
A Key-Circle is a succession of all the keys in some regular order. the Circle
9f Fifths is so called because in it the Fifth of one key becomes the Tonic of the
next key. The expressions: Circle of Fifths, By Fifths, Elevation, On the Right, On
the Sharp Side, By Sharps, used by various authors, all mean the same thing.
Exercise 1. Play the Tonic Triad in every Major Key through the Circle of Fifths,
thus:
Key ofC u D A E B = cb
EX.l.
G? C“ Db Bl? F C
V
Name the signature of every key as you play its Tonic Triad. Notice thatthe fifth
of one triad is the root of the next. Play this without referring to the notes.
First eight exercises are to be played with each hand alone; left hand one octave
lower than the right.
The Circle of Fourths is so called because in it the Fourth of one key becomes
the Tonic of the next key. The expressions: Circle of Fourths, By Fourths, Depres
sion, On the Left, On the Flat Side, By Flats,used by various authors, all mean. the
same thing.
Ex. 2. Play the Tonic Triad in every Major Key through the Circle of Fourths,
thus:

SECONDARY TRIADS.
Except when otherwise directed, all Major Exercises and Illustrations must be
transposed into every Major Key through the CIRCLE OF FIFTHS and the CIRCLE
OF FOURTHS; and all Minor Exercises and Illustrations must be transposed into
all Minor Keys through the CIRCLE OF FIFTHS and the CIRCLE OF FOURTHS.
In EX.36 (Major) the Tonic Triad is followed by its Substitute: the triad on the
Sub Mediant (or sixth of the key).
Notice: (1) Two of the tones of these two chords are identical:
(2) The root descents a third:
(3) The two chords stand to each other in the relation of Major and Relative
Minor.

Name every triad- as you strike it.
In the same exercise the Sub-Dominant Triad is followed by its substitute: the
Super-Tonic Triad (or second of the key). All three points noticed in connection with
the Tonic and Sub-Mediant Triads also apply to these chords.
In the same exercise the Dominant Triad is followed by its substitute the Med
iant Triad,(or third of the key). The three points also apply to these chords.
C.F. 8.00.1701-27

In Exercise 37 (Minor) the Tonic Triad is followed by its substitute: the Sub
Mediant Triad: and the Sub-Dominant Triad by its substitute: the Super-Tonic Tri
ad. Notice that only two of the three points mentioned before, apply in Minor.
Which two are they?

Why does this exercise in Minor not contain the Dominant Triad followed by the Med
iant Triad, as in Major? If you do not know, play the Triad of V followed ,by the
Triad of III in minor,- and your ear will quickly decide.
Ex. 38. The Primary Triads with their Substitutes,keeping the two common tones
in the same voices. In major, in all three positions of the triad.
Ex.39. The Primary Triads with their Substitutes, keeping the two common
tones in the same voices. In minor, in all three positions of the triad.
etc.
Ex.40. Every tone of the Major Scale harmonized in three different ways.
Notice: (1) With the exception of the chord immediately before the last, the bass
descends by thirds throughout.
(2) On account of the Sequence thus formed, the Diminished Triad with
root doubled and in direct form, is not objectionable as usual.
Diminished Triads are marked with an asterisk.

It is not necessary or even desirable that the student he burdened with the whole
subject of INTERVALS at the beginning of harmony study. But the time to consider
them is now at hand. Not all text books on harmony include the subject; so the inter
vals in common use, or the CLASSIC INTERVALS, will be treated here fully.
An INTERVAL is the distance between two tones, or their effect when sounded together.
Intervals receive their NUMBER-NAMES from the number of degrees they cover.
For instance, c-d covers two degrees: a line and a space,- or a space and
a line; hence it is a second. i
‘
1: Fourth n n n n n 4 n
0 Fifth n n n n n 5 n
" Sixth n n n n n 6 n
" Seventh n v v n n 7 n
n ()ctave v n n n n 8 n
" Ninth 7’ n n n n 9 0
Beyond the Ninth,an octave is generally subtracted from the interval,making the Tenth
equal the Third; the Eleventh equal the Fourth; etc.
'Flats and Sharps do not affect-the Number-Names,- ctt-dtt, cb-db, c-db,c- dtt,ctt-d, are
all Seconds, as each covers two degrees.
Flats or Sharps may affect the VARIETY of an interval. There are several varieties:
PERFECT; MAJOR or LARGE,- MINORor SMALL; DIMINISHED;and AUGMENTED.
The intervals formed by the tonic and the successive tones of the Major Scale are all
either Perfect or Major (large)
Perfect Major Major Perfect Perfect Major Major Perfect Major
The PRIME, FOURTH, FIFTH,and OCTAVE in this series in the Major Scale are
PERFECT. (A figure without other mark indicates that the interval is perfect.)

The SECOND, THIRD, SIXTH ,and SEVENTH in this series in the Major Scale are

is Major.) .
2. Construct Major or Large Seconds, Thirds, Sixths,and Sevenths on every tonic thru

the interval is augmented.) ‘

7. Construct Diminished Thirds and Sevenths on every tonic thru the Circle,naming ev
ery interval and the tones composing it, as it is played. In each case sharp the lower tone.
8. Construct this Table of Classic Intervals on every tonic thru the Circle, naming every
interval and the tones composing it, as it is played. ‘
Modern music employs a number of intervals not mentioned here;also some DOUBLY
DIMINISHED, and some DOUBLY- AUGMENTED. When the table has been mastered
it is an easy matter to identify and classify any other intervals that may occur.
INVERSION OF INTERVALS
INVERSION means: “turning upside down,” The Inversion of an interval is ac
complished by transposing the upper tone one octave lower; or the lower tone one oc
tave higher. Thus, c-d by inversion becomes d»c; fit-ab becomes ab- ftt,
The sum of the Number- Names of an interval and its Inversion always equals 9. Thus:
By Inversion a Prime becomes an Octave; 1 + 8 = 9.
v " 11 Second " a Seventh; 2 + 7 = 9.
n " v Third » » Sixth; 3 + 6 = 9.
v v " Fourth " - - Fifth; 4 + 5 = 9.
n n » Fifth ~. v " Fourth; 5 + 4 = 9.
v v " Sixth » H Third; 6 + 3 = 9.
" v " Seventh v v Second; 7 + 2 = 9.
n " an Octave " " Prime; 8 + 1 = 9.
By Inversion a Perfect Interval remains Perfect.
" " a Major or Large Interval becomes Minor or Small,
" v a Minor or Small v " Major or Large.
” " an Augmented " " Diminished.
» " a Diminished n n Augmented.
Hence, a Diminished Third becomes an Augmented Sixth; a Minor Seventh becomes
a Major Seoond,etc.
9. Invert every interval in the Table, naming the inversion and the tones composing it,
as it is played.
10. Construct the Table of Intervals on every tonic, as in 8; then invert the result, nam
ing every inversion and the tones composing it, as it is played.

By using the above progressions, very smooth and simple, tho sometimes very round
about, modulations may be made. To go from any key to any desired key, begin with
the Tonic Triad of the key to be left, and proceed through the Circle to the Dominant or
Sub-Dominant of the key to be entered; and finish with a Cadence in the new key. The
three Exercises following are useful in the same way.

TRANSPOSITION OF MODULATIONS
In transposing Modulations it is necessary to notice the relation the old key and the
new key bear to each other, and also the chord through which the modulation is made.
Ex. 83. From the Major Key to the Minor on its ll. Notice that the Second-Inversion
of the New Tonic follows the old Tonic (after a passing-note in the bass). It is then fol
lowed by the Dominant-Seventh, and the Tonic of the new key in Direct Form. Transpose,
beginning the Modulation with every Major Triad (through the Circles) in succession.

The following examples are taken from the Supplement to Max Reger's Theory of
Modulation. Every one must be analyzed before transposing. Notice that only in one
instance a passing-note is used — in No.6. With the exception of this note (b; second
note in tenor) every note is a chord-tone. Also notice that in every modulation the last
four chords are: Major or Minor Sub-Dominant or its substitute; the Super-Tonic; Second
Inversion of the Tonic; Dominant or Dominant-Seventh; Tonic.

The student who has carefully worked through the preceding material for TRANS
POSITION including the exercises in MODULATION will find it an easy mat
ter to play original Modulations. Especially useful to the Church Organist is the abili
ty to play smooth modulatory passages. A number of such follow. They should be
transposed into all keys. In each case the final triad may be Major or Minor. The stu
dent must then draw on his practical key-board knowledge and play many original pas
sages, from Major to Major; Major to Minor; Minor to Minor; Minor to Major.

This sixth is found in the Sub-Dominant Triad and in its Substitute, the Super-Tonic;
hence these two, chords are called the CHORDS of the DORIAN SIXTH. In the scale
of c minor, harmonic, the Sub-Dominant triad is: fab c. the Dorian Sixth Chord is: f a
c. The Super-Tonic Triad is: d f ab; the Dorian Sixth Chord is: d fa. As in the Mel
odic Minor Scale, this Major Sixth must always be led up into the seventh of the Scale.
Notice that is this chord, or these chords, the word “Sixth” does not refer to an interval
of the chord (as is the case in the “Neapolitan Sixth" the “Augmented Sixth"etc.) but
to the sixth scale-step.
The following examples of Modulations employing the DORIAN SIXTH CHORDS
are taken from the Supplement to Max Reger's Theory of Modulation. Every one must
be analyzed before transposing. Notice that in all of them the Dorian Sixth is in the new
key. Transpose; beginning the Modulation with every Major Triad in succession, through
the Circles. Notice that in Nos. 18 and 19, the Dorian Sixth Chord is the Sub-Dominant;
while in No. 20 it is the Super-Tonic. In these Modulations the upward progression of
the Dorian Sixth is marked, so as to be easily recognized.
-
No. 18– From the Major Key to the Minor of its Fifth.
No. 19.- From the Major Key to the Minor of its Minor Sixth. Notice in this example
the Neapolitan Sixth Chord of the old key, is the Dorian Sixth Chord of the New Key.

Nos. 21, 22 and 23 are from Minor to Minor. Transpose; beginning the Modula
tion with every Minor Triad in succession, through the Circles. Notice that No. 21 uses
the Dorian Sixth Chord on the Sub-Dominant; Nos 22 and 23 on the Super-Tonic.
No. 21.- From the Minor Key to the Minor of its Minor Sixth.
No. 22.-From the Minor Key to the No. 23. From the Minor Key to the

This closes the work of Transposition as founded on the harmony of the Classic School.
f
The transposition of Modern Music, in which the chords and keys are not so mani
3. fest as in the Classic, presents new problems. Though frequently a passage might be
susceptible of various interpretations, it is generally possible to find fundamental chords
and to consider all the tones that do not fall in with these, in the relation of Passing
Notes, Changing Notes, Suspensions, Anticipations, Substitutions, etc.
Bearing these points in mind, the student who has faithfully completed the foregoing
pages will have no special difficulty in transposing anything necessary in the further
pursuance of his studies.
to the end that comprehension precedes expression. A well to acquaint themselves thoroly with one of the
Book that will stimulate self expression in music. principal sources of modern pedagogy.
