Talk:List of chord progressions

I-V-vi-IV references incorrect MIDI file

The second table entry (I-V-vi-IV) actually plays the MIDI file for a different chord progression, “Vi-IV-I-V_chord_progression_in_C.mid”. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smashingly (talk • contribs) 07:35, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Article title, figured bass

I recommend changing the title of the article to List of Common Chord Progressions.

Also include the Figured bass with all of the progressions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.226.155.84 (talk) 18:34, 13 July 2011

Incomplete

I-♭VI-V

The chord sequence i-Flat VI-V is universally used in Slavic and Eastern European folk and popular music. Rachmaninoff used it for one of his preludes; Czech artist Raduza and German artist DJ Shantel have both used it in their songs. 74.223.82.114 (talk) 19:42, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Do you have a citation? Does it have a name? Hyacinth (talk) 09:15, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

In my opinion this progression is too generic (does not have a name etc) to be listed, as it is also omnipresent in every type of western music since the baroque and up to modern pop music, including folk musics etc. Arnavlavan (talk) 13:40, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

on the contrary: being very generic, being very common is a good reason to include it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.34.248.66 (talk) 10:24, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Mistake

The so-called Andalusian cadence is not in the lydian mode but in the phrygian mode. The page seems a bit too complicated for me to edit though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arnavlavan (talk • contribs) 11:27, 22 January 2013

from later commenter Kevintimba: I agree. The progression shown, Am-G-F-E, sounds like it's i-bVII-bVI-V in A minor. What brought me to this page (and about which i'm still not sure) is whether the term Andalusian should apply to i-bVII-bVI-V or to something more along the lines of I-bII-bIII-bII. I like the idea of this page though.

Seconding that the Andalusian cadence is better listed as i-VII-VI-V. Giving an "alternative" analysis with regards to the Phrygian mode is fine, but at the very least I think having this listed alone as the numerals in such a definitive manner (especially when the main article on the progression makes an effort to offer both interpretations directly one after another) is misleading. 82.14.253.177 (talk) 06:35, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

It's not surprising to see that Andalusian progression argued as a regular minor key thing but it isn't felt as such by the practitioners of the art of flamenco. The "Tonic" as such is E, there; fitting it to other *tonal* music's norms is the alternative definition. It's modal, F illustrates the Phrygian nature of that music/that culture. iv-III-bII-I if you must.

Roman Numerals?

Can someone add Roman numeral notation to all of these? I feel like that would add so much to the at-a-glance understandability of this information. 108.4.92.150 (talk) 15:33, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Modified major/minor on side

I just changed the major/minor distinction so that it is actually sortable, because before since 90% of them were labeled "M" and only distinction was color, it wasn't sortable. Please consider sortability if you change this, it is pointless to even append it if you just place an "M" since there is ambitguity 192.34.49.10 (talk) 17:58, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

"Commonly used"?

Sorry, but these chord progressions are not "commonly used"! A few of them are definitely commonly used, but some of these are extremely obscure, for instance, numbers 4 and 6. I'm really struggling to understand the criteria for what's listed here. I would add a column which lists a few examples of works which use the sequence, and remove all entries that don't have multiple examples. I also don't like how some use inversion, which just creates confusion. Grand Dizzy (talk) 20:17, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Ragtime error?

The sixth image (for the 'ragtime' viio7/V–V–I) shows three chords, the first of which appears to be an Adim7 chord. Isn't the viio7 chord for C major supposed to be a Bdim7? Or do I have that wrong? Frunobulax (talk) 16:42, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
