hm, my answer is a bit out of lilypond scope, but if I understand your question correctly, you want to understand what these chords are? they are three different pre-dominant chords that are taught to American undergrads in a sophomore theory course. in E major: Italian = C E A# French = C E F# A# German = C E G A# Tristan = C D# F# A#in all of them, the C and A# in theory want to fan out to B (the dominant). This is, of course, in theory - Wagner’s use of the Tristan chord, which he clearly named his opera after, has the A# moving down to A, or the 7th of the dominant (I’m transposing to fit w/ the example above). Wagner obviously did not pay much attention during his sophomore music theory course… ~Mike On 13 September 2017 at 11.20.51, Menu Jacques (address@hidden) wrote:
