[Smt-talk] Uncommon six-four chords

[Gabe Fankhauser]

Jason,

A simple example of a passing "ii64" may be found in m. 2 of Schumann's 
"An Important Event"--A: V/V V (ii64) V65. Also note the "uncommon" 
six-fours used in the Beatles' "Julia," in which the first is passing 
(?) and the second serves syntactically (if that!) as a cadential 
six-four--D: I  vi (iii64),  I  vi  (iii64) V  I.

SMT-Talk had a substantial (though hardly exhaustive) thread on six-four 
chords last year:

Best,
