Norwegian term

forkortet

Norwegian to English Art/Literary Music
The full phrase is "forkortet vekseldominant". "vekseldominant" I have found out is "secondary dominant". Full sentence reads:
"Den kromatiske stemmeføringen i midt¬partiet av "Til mit hjertes Dronning" medfører noen overraskende akkord¬pro¬gre¬sjoner, som over¬gangen fra forkortet vekseldominant i takt 44 til moll¬subdominant i takt 45 og tonika med kvint i bassen i takt 46 (alle rela¬tert til Ciss-dur, som fun¬ge¬rer som midlertidig toneart i det meste av midt¬partiet)."

Hvordan "forkortet" her`?

"Forkortet dominant" har jeg ikke hørt om. Kanskje forfatteren mener "forminsket dominant" ("diminished"). Ellers får du spørre musikkteorinevøen din.

preference for the diminished secondary dominant to an actual secondary dominant prevails throughout the music of this edition.

Nei, nå tok jeg feil igjen. Det er tydeligvis noe som heter "forkortet" - det betyr at grunntonen fjernes. Oversettes med "shortened" til engelsk:

Another thing that is important to mention about dominant 7ths is the fact that they can appear "verkurz", or shortened. In root position that is to say, for example in C major, the 7th degree chord of B D F can be considered, depending on its function, as a shortened dominant 7th (which means the root note G is omitted.)

You are an angel! I had actually "shortened" on my shortlist.
Something went wrong...
