If the purpose of any of the foregoing comments was even incidentally to put me out of my misery regarding my confusion as to which sixth is which, may I just say that all have failed. Congratulations!
We seem to be members of the same club there! (see my post on the Intervals (sixths and others) thread)... Best, Alistair |

never quite fully sure what a dominant seventh chord actually is. What foxes me Why so? Are there plentiful examples in Renard, then? is all those "sixths", Neapolitan and so forth.
I know! (see my post in the thread on that topic). I'd be hopeless at teaching harmony.
I'd be hopeless at teaching anything! Or writing it, for that matter.
Oh, come now!... "He who touches pitch is defiled from it." (Ecclesiastes 13:1)
Well, if that's what they taught the young boyos in the Methodist church in the Bible-black Abertawe of the 1960s, I can say only that you have clearly learnt that lesson in a more brilliantly original way than any of the ther victims of such teaching! Best, Alistair |

See Rule#2, Members Pace and Garnett. Et tu, George?!
The shame, the shame. That look of disappointment on your face, Chafers, bruises my soul far more painfully than any mere punishment could. In an attempt to return to the straight and narrow I'll admit that I don't understand why these funny Furriners' Sixths changed from being chords to being intervals when they were transferred to another thread. [I think I'm in the clear with all three rules there. Please note that any attempt to explain will fall foul of Rule 2. Only jeering, derision and throwing of wet sponges is allowed.] |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

I know more or less what Facebook IS, but I have to say I haven't yet worked out what possible purpose it might serve. "Tag your friends"? I'm not sure they'd be my friends any more if I did that to them. "Join a network to see people who live, study, or work around you"? Why on earth would I want to do that?

I agree - and even my teenage daughter, who is very much of the target demographic, thinks it's pointless too ... |
