Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop to

00:05

shore Brought to you by the figured base The disfigured

00:09

base was too busy hiding composing music underneath an opera

00:12

house Teo really Bring it Okay Here's our question in

00:15

the key of f major what would the figured base

00:18

symbol above be realized As and here are potential answers

00:23

minor One six nine two six five major Forcing my

00:26

maid your five Okay first off let's identify that note

00:31

We know by its position on the staff that it's

00:33

obviously Well hang on a second Is that the tenor

00:37

clef We're looking at a long time No see man

00:40

how are the kids anyway In tenor clef the note

00:43

in our question is an e and if it's been

00:45

a while since you've seen our good old buddy tenor

00:48

clef here's a quick refresher the clef frames the c

00:53

line so whichever line the little boxy part of the

00:56

cliffs around always marks the notes See So if the

00:59

line being framed as c weaken simply count down to

01:01

the note in question to figure out what it is

01:04

and then counting Great So we know that the bottom

01:08

of this figured base is an e we know that

01:11

we're in tenor clef we know we're in f major

01:14

and we know that every answer has six five tagged

01:17

onto the end which indicates a seventh chord in first

01:21

inversion We also know why the caged bird sings fiercely

01:25

Maya angelou gave us the inside scoop at a dinner

01:27

party once anyway if we spell out our seventh chord

01:31

starting on e wi get e g b flat and

01:36

c but since we're in first inversion we know that

01:39

e is not the root of the chord C is

01:44

to visualize what this court would look like in route

01:46

position we can last so that c down to the

01:48

bottom and well yee hah alright see is the fifth

01:52

above half in the key of f major making the

01:54

correct answer here D major five six five oh and

01:58

word to the wise Don't try to lasso anything else 00:02:01.436 --> [endTime] in music Our orchestra conductor still hasn't forgiven us
