| has gloss | (noun) (music) the seventh note of the diatonic scale subtonic, leading tone |
| has gloss | eng: In music, the subtonic is the lowered or minor seventh degree of the scale, as opposed to the leading tone. For example, in the A minor scale (white keys on a piano, starting on A), the subtonic is the note G (in C major this would be B); and the subtonic chord uses the notes G, B, and D (in C: B-D-F). In music theory, the subtonic chord is symbolized with the Roman numeral VII for a major triad built on the note, or vii for a minor triad; in a minor key, the flat symbol is sometimes omitted by some theorists because the subtonic note appears in the natural minor scale, but the flat symbol is usually used for the major scale because the subtonic is a non scale note. |
