the enharmonic properties of the chord of the diminished seventh

  • stacking m3
  • if we do an inversion and respell A2 as m3 we just get a new fully dim7 chord
  • there are really only 12 fully dim7 chords
  • resolution
    • fundamental up
    • other tones down
      • tchaik only resolves to minor
  • fun thing
    • take the 7th of a fully dim7 chord down a semitone and you now have a dom7 chord
      • 7th now becomes fundamental
