Listen out for that dissonance it’s important. Remember, V is a consonance (a major triad), whereas V 7 is (doubly) dissonant because it contains the intervals of a tritone and a minor 7th.
Things to watch out for: learn how to differentiate between V and V 7. The cadence is preceded by chord IV: in other words, a very logical, “textbook” way to precede V or V 7. Sometimes, other instrumental teachers are reluctant to take their students through practice aural tests for the higher grades - perhaps because of a lack of lesson time, or because the tests need advanced keyboard skills to administer them. the progression is dominant-tonic, but the soprano ends on sol and not do so we can’t call this a PAC). Fergus Black prepares students for aural tests at Grades 6,7 and 8, and for auditions. Do-re-mi in the bass voice implies tonic-dominant-tonic. Measure 1: same logical three-chord progression as in our previous exercises. This pre-cadential chord will also conform to the logic of the chord chart. The second measure will contain a cadence (perfect authentic, imperfect authentic, deceptive, half, or plagal), which will be preceded by a pre-cadential chord.The chords in the first measure will proceed logically according to the Unit 9 chord chart. All the exercises we study will start on the tonic triad.The Anatomy of a 6-Chord Harmonic Dictation These chords will follow the logic of chord progressions that we studied in Unit 9, whose rules are determined by the principles of voice-leading. In Unit 11, we will study harmonic progressions composed of six chords. Ear Training - More Complicated Harmonies Chord Progressions This section of the aural tests comes right after identifying the cadence, for which I have published a separate video.
