Comparing ii and ii⁶ Predominant Function
What are the primary differences in voice leading and harmonic emphasis between a first-inversion supertonic chord (ii⁶) and a root-position supertonic chord (ii) when used as predominant chords?
The ii6 chord emphasizes the leading tone, while root position ii emphasizes the tonic in predominant function.
The ii6 chord creates stronger root movement and emphasizes the supertonic, while root position ii provides smoother bass motion.
The ii6 chord provides smoother bass motion and emphasizes the fourth scale degree, while root position ii emphasizes the supertonic and creates stronger root movement.
The ii6 chord and root position ii have identical voice leading implications and harmonic emphasis in predominant function.
