using dissonant passing chords
Explanation:
Passing chords move between chords that we perceive as inside the key of the passage of music. A passing chord, then, adds variety and often through introducing more dissonance. It provides tension which the "inside" chords then release.

Explanation:
Passing chords move between chords that we perceive as inside the key of the passage of music. A passing chord, then, adds variety and often through introducing more dissonance. It provides tension which the "inside" chords then release.

Example sentence(s):
  • For example, chords that function as dissonant passing chords tend to have shorter durations than stable chords anchoring a tonality.
