1. Interval Construction Formulas | 音程构建公式
Intervals are measured by counting the number of letter names (the interval number) and the total semitones (the interval quality). A major second (M2) spans 2 semitones; a major third (M3) spans 4 semitones; a perfect fourth (P4) spans 5 semitones; a perfect fifth (P5) spans 7 semitones; a major sixth (M6) spans 9 semitones; a major seventh (M7) spans 11 semitones; and a perfect octave (P8) spans 12 semitones. To derive a minor interval, reduce the major equivalent by one semitone: a minor third (m3) = 3 semitones, a minor sixth (m6) = 8 semitones, and a minor seventh (m7) = 10 semitones. Augmented intervals expand a perfect or major interval by one semitone (e.g., aug4 = 6 semitones), while diminished intervals contract a perfect or minor interval by one semitone (e.g., dim5 = 6 semitones). The tritone — the defining dissonance of tonal music — sits precisely at 6 semitones and can be spelled as either an augmented fourth or a diminished fifth, depending on context.
音程的测量需同时计算字母名称的数量（音程度数）与总半音数（音程性质）。大二度（M2）跨度为 2 个半音；大三度（M3）为 4 个半音；纯四度（P4）为 5 个半音；纯五度（P5）为 7 个半音；大六度（M6）为 9 个半音；大七度（M7）为 11 个半音；纯八度（P8）为 12 个半音。小音程由对应的大音程缩减一个半音得出：小三度（m3）= 3 个半音，小六度（m6）= 8 个半音，小七度（m7）= 10 个半音。增音程将纯音程或大音程扩大一个半音（如增四度 = 6 个半音），减音程则将纯音程或小音程缩小一个半音（如减五度 = 6 个半音）。三全音——调性音乐中标志性的不协和音程——恰好位于 6 个半音处，可根据上下文记写为增四度或减五度。
2. Triad Construction & Inversion Formulas | 三和弦构建与转位公式
A triad is a three-note chord stacked in thirds. The four qualities follow strict semitone patterns: Major triad = root + M3 (4 semitones) + P5 (7 semitones); Minor triad = root + m3 (3 semitones) + P5 (7 semitones); Diminished triad = root + m3 (3 semitones) + dim5 (6 semitones); Augmented triad = root + M3 (4 semitones) + aug5 (8 semitones). When a triad is inverted, the bass note changes while the chord identity remains constant: Root position = root in bass, figured bass 5/3 (usually implied, not written); First inversion = third in bass, figured bass 6 (or 6/3); Second inversion = fifth in bass, figured bass 6/4. In Roman numeral analysis, first inversion is indicated by a superscript ‘6’ (e.g., I⁶), and second inversion by a superscript ‘6/4’ (e.g., V⁶/₄). The cadential 6/4 — a I⁶/₄ progressing to V — functions as a dominant expansion, not a tonic chord, and must resolve by stepwise motion in the bass.
三和弦是由三个音按三度叠置而成的和弦。四种性质遵循严格的半音模式：大三和弦 = 根音 + 大三度（4 个半音）+ 纯五度（7 个半音）；小三和弦 = 根音 + 小三度（3 个半音）+ 纯五度（7 个半音）；减三和弦 = 根音 + 小三度（3 个半音）+ 减五度（6 个半音）；增三和弦 = 根音 + 大三度（4 个半音）+ 增五度（8 个半音）。三和弦转位时，低音改变而和弦身份不变：原位 = 根音在低音部，数字低音为 5/3（通常默认，不标出）；第一转位 = 三音在低音部，数字低音为 6（或 6/3）；第二转位 = 五音在低音部，数字低音为 6/4。在罗马数字分析中，第一转位以上标”6″标示（如 I⁶），第二转位以上标”6/4″标示（如 V⁶/₄）。终止式 6/4——即 I⁶/₄ 进行到 V——功能上属于属和弦的扩展，而非主和弦，且低音必须级进解决。
3. Seventh Chord Formulas | 七和弦公式
Seventh chords add a fourth note a seventh above the root to any triad. The five common qualities in tonal harmony are: Major seventh (MM7) = major triad + M7 (11 semitones above root), e.g., C–E–G–B; Dominant seventh (Mm7) = major triad + m7 (10 semitones above root), e.g., C–E–G–B♭; Minor seventh (m7 or mm7) = minor triad + m7, e.g., C–E♭–G–B♭; Half-diminished seventh (ø7 or dm7) = diminished triad + m7, e.g., C–E♭–G♭–B♭; Fully diminished seventh (°7 or dd7) = diminished triad + dim7 (9 semitones above root, enharmonically equivalent to a major sixth), e.g., C–E♭–G♭–B♭♭. Inversions use the following figured bass symbols: root position = 7; first inversion = 6/5; second inversion = 4/3; third inversion = 4/2 (abbreviated as 2). The dominant seventh (V⁷) is the most structurally significant seventh chord in tonal music and resolves with the seventh falling by step and the leading tone rising to the tonic.
七和弦是在三和弦基础上叠加根音上方七度音而形成的四音和弦。调性和声中五种常见的性质为：大七和弦（MM7）= 大三和弦 + 大七度（根音上方 11 个半音），如 C–E–G–B；属七和弦（Mm7）= 大三和弦 + 小七度（根音上方 10 个半音），如 C–E–G–B♭；小七和弦（m7 或 mm7）= 小三和弦 + 小七度，如 C–E♭–G–B♭；半减七和弦（ø7 或 dm7）= 减三和弦 + 小七度，如 C–E♭–G♭–B♭；全减七和弦（°7 或 dd7）= 减三和弦 + 减七度（根音上方 9 个半音，等音等价于大六度），如 C–E♭–G♭–B♭♭。转位使用以下数字低音符号：原位 = 7；第一转位 = 6/5；第二转位 = 4/3；第三转位 = 4/2（简写为 2）。属七和弦（V⁷）是调性音乐中结构上最重要的七和弦，解决时七音级进下行，导音上行至主音。
4. Cadence Classification | 终止式分类
Cadences function as musical punctuation marks, articulating phrase endings through specific harmonic formulas. The four principal cadence types, each with a distinct syntactic role, are as follows. The perfect cadence (V–I, or V⁷–I) provides full closure and is the strongest cadential gesture; both chords must be in root position, and the tonic must appear in the soprano of the final chord. The imperfect cadence (any chord ending on V, e.g., I–V, ii–V, IV–V) creates a sense of pause without completion, analogous to a comma or semicolon. The plagal cadence (IV–I) — often called the ‘Amen cadence’ — offers a gentler, subdominant-flavoured resolution. The interrupted cadence (V–vi, or V⁷–vi in major; V–♭VI or V–VI in minor) subverts expectation by replacing the anticipated tonic with the submediant, generating a dramatic deflection that demands continuation. For CIE examination purposes, you must identify each cadence by its Roman numerals and key, as well as describe its expressive effect within the passage.
终止式充当音乐的标点符号，通过特定的和声公式来划分乐句结尾。四种主要的终止式类型各具不同的句法功能，具体如下。正格终止（V–I 或 V⁷–I）提供完整的收束，是最强有力的终止式；两个和弦均须为原位，且末和弦的最高声部必须出现主音。半终止（任何结束在 V 上的进行，如 I–V、ii–V、IV–V）产生停顿感但未完成，类似逗号或分号。变格终止（IV–I）——常被称为”阿门终止”——提供一种更为柔和、带有下属色彩的解觉。阻碍终止（大调中 V–vi 或 V⁷–vi；小调中 V–♭VI 或 V–VI）以下中音和弦替代预期的主和弦，颠覆听觉期待，产生戏剧性的偏移，迫使音乐继续推进。就 CIE 考试而言，你必须通过罗马数字与调性识别每种终止式，并阐释其在乐段中的表情作用。
5. The Circle of Fifths & Key Signature Rules | 五度圈与调号规则
The circle of fifths maps all 24 major and minor keys in a closed loop based on perfect fifth relationships. Moving clockwise from C major (no sharps or flats), each step adds one sharp: G (F♯), D (F♯, C♯), A (F♯, C♯, G♯), E (F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), B (F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯), F♯ (F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯), C♯ (all seven sharps). Moving anticlockwise adds flats: F (B♭), B♭ (B♭, E♭), E♭ (B♭, E♭, A♭), A♭ (B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭), D♭ (B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭), G♭ (B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭, C♭), C♭ (all seven flats). The relative minor of any major key shares the identical key signature and lies a minor third (3 semitones) below the major tonic. To derive the tonic of a sharp key signature: the last sharp is the leading note, so the tonic is one semitone above it. For flat key signatures: the penultimate flat in the order (B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭, C♭, F♭) gives the major tonic directly; the key of F major (one flat, B♭) is the exception to this rule.
五度圈以纯五度关系将全部 24 个大调和小调映射为一个闭合环路。从 C 大调（无升降号）顺时针移动，每一步增加一个升号：G（升 F）、D（升 F、升 C）、A（升 F、升 C、升 G）、E（升 F、升 C、升 G、升 D）、B（升 F、升 C、升 G、升 D、升 A）、升 F（升 F、升 C、升 G、升 D、升 A、升 E）、升 C（全部七个升号）。逆时针移动增加降号：F（降 B）、降 B（降 B、降 E）、降 E（降 B、降 E、降 A）、降 A（降 B、降 E、降 A、降 D）、降 D（降 B、降 E、降 A、降 D、降 G）、降 G（降 B、降 E、降 A、降 D、降 G、降 C）、降 C（全部七个降号）。任何大调的关系小调共享完全相同的调号，且位于大调主音下方小三度（3 个半音）处。推导升号调的主音：最后一个升号即为导音，因此主音在其上方一个半音。对于降号调：按顺序（降 B、降 E、降 A、降 D、降 G、降 C、降 F）倒数第二个降号直接给出大调主音；F 大调（一个降号，降 B）是此规则的特例。
6. Scale Mode Formulas | 调式音阶公式
The seven diatonic modes can be understood as rotations of the major scale, each with a distinctive intervallic pattern measured against the same tonic. Using W (whole tone, 2 semitones) and H (semitone), the formulas are: Ionian (major) = W–W–H–W–W–W–H; Dorian = W–H–W–W–W–H–W; Phrygian = H–W–W–W–H–W–W; Lydian = W–W–W–H–W–W–H; Mixolydian = W–W–H–W–W–H–W; Aeolian (natural minor) = W–H–W–W–H–W–W; Locrian = H–W–W–H–W–W–W. A more pragmatic method for the exam: memorise the characteristic scale degrees relative to the parallel major. Dorian = major with lowered 3rd and 7th (♭3, ♭7); Phrygian = major with ♭2, ♭3, ♭6, ♭7; Lydian = major with raised 4th (♯4); Mixolydian = major with ♭7; Aeolian = major with ♭3, ♭6, ♭7; Locrian = major with ♭2, ♭3, ♭5, ♭6, ♭7. Recognition of modal passages in set works — such as the Lydian-inflected passages in Debussy or the Dorian folk melodies quoted by Vaughan Williams — is a frequent CIE assessment objective.
七种自然调式可理解为大调音阶的轮转，每种调式在相同主音对照下具有独特的音程模式。使用 W（全音，2 个半音）和 H（半音），公式如下：伊奥尼亚（大调）= W–W–H–W–W–W–H；多利亚 = W–H–W–W–W–H–W；弗里几亚 = H–W–W–W–H–W–W；利底亚 = W–W–W–H–W–W–H；混合利底亚 = W–W–H–W–W–H–W；伊奥利亚（自然小调）= W–H–W–W–H–W–W；洛克里亚 = H–W–W–H–W–W–W。考试中更实用的方法：记忆相对于平行大调的特征音级。多利亚 = 大调降低 3 级和 7 级（♭3、♭7）；弗里几亚 = 大调降低 ♭2、♭3、♭6、♭7；利底亚 = 大调升高 4 级（♯4）；混合利底亚 = 大调降低 ♭7；伊奥利亚 = 大调降低 ♭3、♭6、♭7；洛克里亚 = 大调降低 ♭2、♭3、♭5、♭6、♭7。识别指定作品中的调式段落——如德彪西作品中的利底亚色彩片段或沃恩·威廉姆斯引用的多利亚民谣旋律——是 CIE 常见的考查目标。
7. Harmonic Progression Rules | 和声进行规则
Tonal harmony functions through a hierarchical network of chord relationships governed by predictable root-motion patterns. The fundamental harmonic flowchart for major keys operates as follows: I leads freely to any diatonic chord; ii progresses to V or vii° (occasionally to IV in Baroque sequences); iii moves to vi or IV; IV leads to V, vii°, or ii (and can return to I in a plagal motion); V progresses to I or vi (the deceptive resolution); vi connects to ii, IV, or V; vii° resolves overwhelmingly to I (with the leading tone rising and the diminished fifth resolving inward to a third). The strong root motions — descending fifth (or ascending fourth), descending third, and ascending second — underpin most functional progressions. In minor keys, the harmonic minor scale (raised leading note) generates major V and diminished vii° chords, which dramatically intensify the dominant function. CIE candidates must also recognise sequential patterns: the circle-of-fifths progression (I–IV–vii°–iii–vi–ii–V–I) and the descending 5-6 sequence are particularly common in Baroque and Classical repertoire.
调性和声通过由可预测的根音进行模式所支配的和弦关系层级网络运作。大调的基本和声流程如下：I 可自由进行至任何自然音和弦；ii 进行至 V 或 vii°（在巴洛克模进中偶尔进行至 IV）；iii 移动至 vi 或 IV；IV 进行至 V、vii° 或 ii（亦可通过变格进行返回 I）；V 进行至 I 或 vi（阻碍解觉）；vi 连接至 ii、IV 或 V；vii° 压倒性地解觉至 I（导音上行，减五度向内收缩至三度）。强根音进行——下行五度（或上行四度）、下行三度与上行二度——构成大多数功能性和声进行的基础。在小调中，和声小调（升高导音）生成大三和弦 V 与减三和弦 vii°，极大地强化了属功能。CIE 考生还须辨认模进模式：五度圈进行（I–IV–vii°–iii–vi–ii–V–I）与下行 5-6 模进在巴洛克与古典作品曲目中尤为常见。
8. Voice Leading Principles | 声部进行原则
Voice leading governs the horizontal motion of individual lines within a chordal texture. The core principles, distilled from common-practice tonality, are as follows. When adjacent chords share one or more common tones, retain those tones in the same voice; remaining voices should move to the nearest available chord tones by step or, failing that, by the smallest possible leap. Avoid parallel perfect fifths and octaves between any pair of voices — these destroy contrapuntal independence. Avoid direct (hidden) fifths and octaves in outer voices when the soprano leaps: if the soprano and bass approach a perfect fifth or octave by similar motion and the soprano moves by leap, the progression is stylistically faulty. Leading tones (the seventh degree of the scale) must resolve upward by step to the tonic when they appear in an outer voice; when they occur in an inner voice, a downward resolution to the fifth of the tonic chord is permissible if the voice-leading demands it. The seventh of any seventh chord must resolve downward by step. In four-part chorale-style writing (a staple of the CIE examination), the spacing between adjacent upper voices (soprano–alto, alto–tenor) should not exceed an octave, while the bass may lie more than an octave below the tenor.
声部进行控制着和弦织体中各独立声部的水平运动。以下是从共性实践调性中提炼的核心原则。当相邻和弦共享一个或多个共同音时，须将这些音保持在同一声部中；其余声部应级进移动至最近的和弦音，若无法级进，则以尽可能小的跳进实现。避免任何两声部之间的平行纯五度与平行八度——它们会破坏对位独立性。当最高声部跳进时，避免外声部的隐伏（直行）五度与八度：若最高声部与低音以同向进行趋近一个纯五度或纯八度，且最高声部以跳进方式进行，则此进行在风格上存在瑕疵。导音（音阶第七级音）出现在外声部时必须向上级进解决至主音；若出现在内声部，且声部进行需要，则允许下行解决至主和弦的五音。任何七和弦的七音必须向下级进解决。在四声部众赞歌式写作（CIE 考试的核心内容）中，相邻上方声部（女高音–女低音、女低音–男高音）之间的间距不应超过八度，而男低音则可位于男高音下方超过八度。
9. Figured Bass Decoding | 数字低音解码
Figured bass is a shorthand notation from the Baroque period that specifies the intervals to be played above a given bass note, thereby indicating the chord and its inversion. Numbers represent the diatonic intervals above the bass: a bare ‘6’ denotes a first-inversion triad (third and sixth above the bass); ‘6/4’ indicates a second-inversion triad (fourth and sixth above the bass); ‘7’ alone signifies a root-position seventh chord (third, fifth, and seventh above the bass); ‘6/5’ designates a first-inversion seventh chord (third, fifth, and sixth above the bass); ‘4/3’ marks a second-inversion seventh chord (third, fourth, and sixth above the bass); ‘4/2’ or simply ‘2’ identifies a third-inversion seventh chord (second, fourth, and sixth above the bass). Accidentals beside a number raise or lower that specific interval: a sharp (♯) beside a ‘3’ means the third above the bass is raised by a semitone; a natural (♮) beside a ‘5’ cancels any previous alteration to the fifth. A slash through a number (e.g., 6̸) also indicates a raised interval. Chromatic alterations often signal secondary dominants, modal mixture, or modulation — all of which CIE expects you to interpret from the figuring alone.
数字低音是巴洛克时期的一种速记记谱法，用于标示在给定低音上方应演奏的音程，从而指明和弦及其转位。数字代表低音上方的自然音程：单独的”6″表示三和弦第一转位（低音上方的三度与六度）；”6/4″表示三和弦第二转位（低音上方的四度与六度）；单独的”7″表示原位七和弦（低音上方的三度、五度与七度）；”6/5″表示七和弦第一转位（低音上方的三度、五度与六度）；”4/3″表示七和弦第二转位（低音上方的三度、四度与六度）；”4/2″或简写”2″表示七和弦第三转位（低音上方的二度、四度与六度）。数字旁的临时变音记号升高或降低该特定音程：”3″旁的升号（♯）表示低音上方的三度升高一个半音；”5″旁的本位号（♮）取消此前对五度的任何变化。数字上的斜线（如 6̸）同样表示升高该音程。半音变化常暗示副属和弦、调式交替或转调——CIE 均要求你仅凭数字低音即可据此作出解读。
10. Modulation Techniques & Pivot Chords | 转调技法与共同和弦
Modulation — the process of changing key within a composition — is a structural pillar of tonal music. The smoothest and most common method is pivot-chord modulation, which exploits a chord that is diatonic in both the old and the new keys. To identify a pivot chord: first determine the two keys involved and their respective chord inventories; then locate a chord (or chords) shared between them. The pivot is analysed with dual Roman numerals — one in the source key and one in the destination key — typically placed at the point where the harmonic function shifts. For instance, in a modulation from C major to G major, the chord E minor (iii in C, vi in G) can serve as the pivot. Direct (phrase) modulation juxtaposes two keys without a pivot, often at a phrase boundary, creating an abrupt tonal shift that composers such as Schubert exploit for dramatic contrast. Chromatic modulation uses an altered chord — frequently a diminished seventh or an augmented sixth — to pivot enharmonically into a distantly related key. The Neapolitan sixth (♭II⁶, a major triad built on the lowered second degree in first inversion) and the augmented sixth chords (Italian, French, German) function as powerful predominant modulatory agents, intensifying the drive toward the dominant of the new key. CIE candidates must be able to locate and label pivot chords within score extracts, describe the modulatory route, and relate the key change to the phrase structure and expressive design of the work.
转调——即在一部作品内部改变调性的过程——是调性音乐的结构支柱。最平滑且最常用的方法是共同和弦转调，它利用在旧调与新调中均为自然音的一个和弦。识别共同和弦的步骤为：首先确定所涉及的两个调及其各自的自然音和弦集合；然后找出二者共用的一个（或多个）和弦。共同和弦以双重罗马数字标注——一个在原调中，一个在目标调中——通常置于和声功能发生转换之处。例如，在从 C 大调转至 G 大调的进行中，E 小三和弦（C 大调的 iii，G 大调的 vi）可作为共同和弦。直接转调（乐句转调）不通过共同和弦便将两个调性并置，通常发生在乐句分界处，造成突兀的调性转换，舒伯特等作曲家即善用此手法营造戏剧性对比。半音转调利用变化和弦——通常为减七和弦或增六和弦——通过等音转换实现向远关系调的转调。拿波里六和弦（♭II⁶，建立在降低二级音上的大三和弦，采用第一转位）及各类增六和弦（意大利、法国、德国）均充当强有力的属前转调媒介，强化向新调属和弦的倾向性。CIE 考生须能在乐谱选段中定位并标注共同和弦，描述转调路径，并将调性变化与作品的乐句结构及表情设计联系起来。
11. Augmented Sixth Chords: A Theorem of Chromatic Predominants | 增六和弦：半音属前和弦定理
Augmented sixth chords are chromatic alterations of the subdominant family that contain the interval of an augmented sixth — which resolves outward by semitone to an octave on the dominant. There are three standard national varieties, each built upon the flattened sixth degree of the scale (♭6 in the bass). The Italian sixth (It⁺⁶) consists of three notes: ♭6 in the bass, tonic (1), and raised fourth (♯4) forming the augmented sixth above. It typically resolves directly to V (or the cadential 6/4) with the ♯4 ascending to 5 and the ♭6 descending to 5, doubling the third of the V chord. The French sixth (Fr⁺⁶) adds the second scale degree (2) between the tonic and ♯4, producing a whole-tone-plus-augmented-sixth sonority that resolves to V with the 2 acting as a common tone or moving to 3. The German sixth (Ger⁺⁶) adds the minor third above the tonic (♭3, enharmonically equivalent to ♯2), creating a chord identical in sound to a dominant seventh but functioning as a predominant. The German sixth must resolve either directly to V (with parallel fifths tolerated in some styles) or through a cadential 6/4 to avoid the forbidden parallels: the ♭3 (spelled as ♯2) ascends to 3, ♯4 ascends to 5, ♭6 descends to 5, and the tonic moves to the leading tone. These chords are indispensable in late-Classical and Romantic harmonic vocabulary and appear frequently in the set works prescribed by CIE.
增六和弦是下属和弦家族的半音变化形式，包含一个增六度音程——该音程向外半音解觉至属音上的八度。共有三种标准的国别变体，每种均建立在音阶降六级音（低音为 ♭6）之上。意大利增六和弦（It⁺⁶）由三个音组成：低音 ♭6、主音（1）及升四度（♯4），♯4 与 ♭6 之间形成增六度。它通常直接解觉至 V（或终止式 6/4），♯4 上行至 5，♭6 下行至 5，V 和弦的三音得到重复。法国增六和弦（Fr⁺⁶）在主音与 ♯4 之间加入音阶二级音（2），产生全音加增六度的音响，解觉至 V 时 2 作为共同音保留或移动至 3。德国增六和弦（Ger⁺⁶）在主音上方加入小三度（♭3，等音等价于 ♯2），所生成的和弦在音响上与属七和弦完全相同，但在功能上充当下属前的和弦。德国增六和弦必须或直接解觉至 V（某些风格中可容忍平行五度），或通过终止式 6/4 以避免禁止的平行进行：♭3（记写为 ♯2）上行至 3，♯4 上行至 5，♭6 下行至 5，主音移动至导音。这些和弦在古典晚期与浪漫派和声语汇中不可或缺，并频繁出现于 CIE 指定的作品曲目中。
12. Sonata Form Structural Theorem | 奏鸣曲式结构定理
Sonata form is not a rigid mould but a dramatic narrative framework that organises musical material through the dialectic of key areas. Its tripartite architecture — Exposition, Development, Recapitulation — follows a precise tonal trajectory. The Exposition presents two contrasting thematic groups: the first subject in the tonic key and the second subject in a complementary key (the dominant for major-key movements; the relative major or, more rarely, the minor dominant for minor-key movements). A transitional bridge modulates between them, and a codetta closes the exposition, often with a repeat sign. The Development section explores remote keys and fragments, transforms, and recombines earlier motives, building harmonic tension through sequential modulation and avoiding sustained tonic stability. The Recapitulation restores tonal unity by restating all thematic material in the tonic key; the bridge is recomposed so as not to modulate away from the tonic, and the second subject now appears transposed to the tonic. An optional Coda may follow, consolidating the tonic and providing rhetorical closure. CIE expects you to identify these structural landmarks in score extracts, label the key of each section, and discuss how the composer manipulates the formal conventions for expressive effect — for example, through a false recapitulation (Haydn), a reversed recapitulation (Mozart), or the integration of development within the coda (Beethoven).
奏鸣曲式并非一个僵化的模具，而是一个通过调性区域的辩证关系来
