Like intervals, triads can be inverted by moving the lowest note up an octave.
(和音程一樣,轉位同樣適用於三和弦)
The lowest note, called the bass note, determines the name of the inversion.
(最低音,叫做底音,決定了轉位的名字)
When the lowest note is the root of the chord, the triad is in root position.
(在和絃中,當根音是最低音時,這個三和弦處在基礎音位) |
The bass note is now the third of the chord.
(現在底音成為了和絃的第三個音)
Now, the fifth is the lowest note of the chord.
(現在五音成為了和絃的最低音)
Notice that the triad returns to root position.
(注意到三和弦回到了它的基礎音位) |
