Resolution of the Supertonic Seventh Chord
What is the primary voice-leading distinction between a ii⁷ chord and a ii triad when resolving to a dominant chord?
A
The third of the ii7 chord typically resolves upward to the root of the dominant chord, enhancing the harmonic tension.
B
The root of the ii7 chord usually moves up to the fifth of the dominant chord, creating a stronger harmonic pull.
C
The fifth of the ii7 chord often leaps to the seventh of the dominant chord, creating a more complex harmonic texture.
D
The seventh of the ii7 chord typically resolves downward to the third of the dominant chord, creating smoother voice leading.
