Bernard Holland’s Jane Chord
Itzhak violist.
What’s a Jane Chord? [Don't worry, Miss Mussel didn't know either until about a month ago]
Of course, if we want to get all technical, two notes make an interval, not a chord. When the rules are bent ever so slightly to include the first and last two words, we get a much more better result:
Itzhak Perlman’s other violist.
Not bad, but four note chords generally resolve to a nice major triad, so our work here is not quite finished. Miss Mussel can’t bear to leave you all hanging with an unresolved dominant seventh in your head. That would be cruel.
A bit of tinkering and a gross abuse of half forgotten theory lessons brings us V13 –> I which, in the context of our discussion thus far results in the deliciously naughty and highly improbable:
Itzhak Perlman’s New Year’s Eve began on // the other violist.
If anyone else cares to have a go, the first article was, published on 2nd January 1981. Mr Holland’s last review, appeared on 23rd May of this year. Or, choose someone else’s output.
