文摘Basing upon the tonality analytic method, the present paper aims at: (1) Drawing attention to the subordination of the minor key vs. the major key in the chord classification, using the same methodology; and (2) Showing the differences for the major key and the minor (harmonic) key in the classification of chords, as an aspect of importance for interpreting a piece's tonal structure diagram. The relations between chords appearing in the major and minor (harmonic) key will be shown by applying the comparisons of: (1) third-based chords; and (2) degrees in the C major and A minor keys, on which the same diatonic chords appear.
