AH, damn, how did I fail to spot that Yes, my piano teacher told me a bit about them, that inversions of a chord don't have a 'solid' feel of the chord you are in i.e C Major if I used the 2nd inversion, it wouldn't have as 'solid' feeling of being in C Major, compared to when using the root chord which gives a 'solid' feeling that one does.

Something I noticed while trying to figure out a harmony was that the melody can change drastically by only changing the harmony slightly - I knew that before, but never that it had such an impact. I mean if you only listen to the melody it sounds rather happy, when I apply the harmony then it sounds, in the beginning of the phrase, very miserable (probably because I started in A min) and slowly becomes more and more lighthearted. Bah, never mind was just typing my mind

I guess I shall give it another try since no new exercise has been given?
