APFIVE In the context of diatonic triads in a minor key, what unique alteration is typically made to the V chord, and why is this significant for harmonic progression?
The third of the V chord is lowered, creating a minor V chord, which softens the dominant function and creates a more modal sound in the progression.
The fifth of the V chord is lowered, creating a diminished V chord, which increases tension and creates a more ambiguous resolution to the tonic.
The root of the V chord is raised, creating an augmented V chord, which enhances the chromatic movement in the bass line and adds color to the progression.
The third of the V chord is raised, creating a major V chord, which provides a stronger pull towards the tonic and establishes a clearer sense of tonality.
