A nice example of a song with Harmonic Chain


Amore mio - Gigi D' Alesio


At the chorus the bass rises in steps of 4.


Sevenths are prepared and the 3rd added each time. The added 3rd becomes the prepared 7th of the next chord. Different kind of 7ths are produced each time, 7ths, major 7ths, etc.


Like on a Vivaldi cello concerto in C minor.


Marvelous.
