[Smt-talk] Uncommon six-four chords

[Nobile, Drew]

Hi Jason,

In Schubert's Piano Sonata in A minor (D 845), first movement, measures 36–37, V6/5 passes down to V7 chromatically (in an omnibus fragment) such that ii6/4 occurs over ^6 in the bass.

Friends,

I am seeking examples (from any style or time period, but preferably from the common practice) of ii6/4 serving as a passing chord between V and V6, with or without the seventh added either to ii (ii4/3) or to one or both dominants. (I’m not particularly interested in V4/3 of V.) I am assuming that this progression is nonexistent in minor because of the +2 that would occur in the bass; however, I wouldn’t be shocked to find something like: V - iio6/4 - v6 - V6.

I am also looking for instances of the leading-tone triad serving as a neighbor (or, pedal) six-four to IV: IV -  viio6/4 - IV. Here, I am primarily interested in either the leading-tone triad alone or one with a m7 added to produce the diatonic, half-diminished LT7. (The fully-diminished LT7 in this context could be analyzed as a common-tone diminished seventh chord, and I have plenty of examples of this).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you might have to offer!

Best wishes,
Jason
