Music Theory: Chord Analysis

[sroka]

Where is the best place to post about music theory questions?

I need someone who can see if I am doing my chord analysis correctly!

Here it is: https://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=72ej3r&s=6

Much help appreciated !

Thank you

There's a sub forum in here, it says Child Board: Music Theory, that would be the correct place to post this thread, but since I'm new here too I don't know who can move this over there.

Regarding the analysis, it looks "correct" so far, I'll keep editing this post as I spot things that are missing or that can be better.

Ok, first thing, when you have the same chord or degree repeated more than once for bars, or for a long duration, like the 'I' DM in this case which lasts during the first 4 bars, you don't have to write down I - I - I - I - I - I - I - I, writing 'I' under the first and last 'I DM' chord is sufficient, even just under the first one, leaving it like the following: I ------------------ V, with that you're expressing that that chord or degree will be held during those bars above the line.

We have to label chord changes and their notation of modulation and secondary dominants.

I really don't know where modulation occurs at time.  Can someone else also verify this for me?

Thanks to all that do!

Oh ok, so far I've spotted V of V, an indication of this is the G-sharp which is the leading tone of A major, the V, signaling a modulation to the V which means that the ii now turns major, E major in this case, and instead of functioning as 'ii' it now functions as the V7 of A major, so the correct labeling is V7 *. The bar I'm talking about is number 15. I'll continue editing this post and the previous one as I find other stuff, and if I don't leave .

* you can write down II7 - V (with caps because it's major) and under it V7- I in parenthesis (or vice versa), you're expressing functions and a short modulation.

bar 15-16 ---17           15-16 --- 17
      II7 -------V           (II7 ------ V)
                           or
     (V7 ------- I)           V7 ------ I
      EM7        A             EM7       A

Try figuring out the two remaining bars by yourself now, talking into account what I've told you  .

I pm'ed you!  and thanks!
