Brainlag Music
Brainlag MusicApproaching an augmented sixth
How the music arrives at an augmented sixth: from IVb, one part sliding a semitone.
From IVb
The usual way in is from IVb: its bass (the submediant) slides down a semitone to the flattened submediant, or, in a minor key, stays where it is; and the subdominant rises a semitone to its sharpened form, in the same part.
