sanctushilarus Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 This might sound a little strange, but I am looking for an example of a section in a baroque trio sonata, or perhaps any chamber work (preferably from a slow movement) that features consecutive dominant 7th chords in a chromatically descending sequence. For an idea of what I'm talking about, watch this video and fast-forward to about 40 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIcinMxNYBc It's the opening chorus from Bach's St John Passion. But the instrumentation is too big so it doesn't really work for me. I plan to quote the excerpt in a string trio I am writing, in case you're wondering why I have such a specific wish. But I haven't found anything so far.. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJTitchener Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Mozart often uses this device, look to his quartets and serenades etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
