Brainlag Plus MusicWhere the 7th goes
How V7 resolves: the 7th falls, the leading note rises, why I then often has no 5th, and why V7d leads to Ib.
Two notes must move
In V7 two notes have somewhere they must go:
- the 7th falls a step (in C major, F to E);
- the leading note rises to the tonic (B to C).
Because both resolve, I often ends up with no 5th: three roots and a 3rd. That is normal and correct.
