That's what I would call it then - a quartal chord: Bb-Eb-Ab with subdominant function. I somehow remembered it being bVII even though I had analyzed it before as a quartal chord. It was just a silly error on my part calling it bVII and I've corrected it now. Thank you for pointing this out so quickly, filmmusic. These sound like a couplet-refrain to me, However the one true bVII i found was at 2.31 of your youtube video.Ģ) it seems we have 2 sections of the theme: So, i would be curious to know what others think about this chord. In the next bar after that (last bar of example above), we still have an exchange between tonic and the same chord in question. Plus we have the tonic of the IV chord in the bass. So, that lab seems to me like a suspension, and not the tonic of the chord. I tried to play the theme with both a regular bVII in that spot, and a IV that resolved it's lab to sol, and the second option sounded to me that it fits more. In the end i concluded that those aren't bVII (which would be suspended of course, without the 3rd) but IV suspended chords (mib-lab-sib). I have 2 points to comment, since i studied the theme recently:ġ) to tell you the truth, those 2 chords you point as bVII have troubled me a bit.
