RE: If falsetas are supposed to carr... (in reply to Ricardo)

quote:

Since the dim7 arrises ONLY FROM THE RAISED LEADING TONE, as you can see an altered G to G# above the B-A to make a hard cadence, there is ONLY ONE DIMINISHED 7 chord resolving!!!!

Why raised leading tone? It's true for natural minor scales. But not true for major scales since they have a natural leading tone e.g. B in C major scale.

So you mean there must be only one dim7 arising from the major third of a dominant chord which is a leading tone? Bdim7 for Cmaj7 and G#dim7 for Am7.
We have half-step resolution G#dim7->Am7 and Bdim7->Cmaj7.
In the renaissance, they would call Bdim7-Cmaj7 Sopran cadence. Right?

quote:

Why do jazzers teach this idea that ONE dim7 chord resolves to 4 different places?

I believe these 4 dim7 chords don't have to resolve to a tonic and its relative minor/major chord e.g. Cmaj7 and Am7.
As a subsitute for dominant/ secondary dominant, they can be used for modulating to different keys than C and Am?
