The I-V4/3-I6 chord progression is a common harmonic pattern where the tonic (I) chord is followed by its first inversion (V4/3), then resolves back to another inversion (I6).
Chord Inversion: This term refers to rearranging the notes within a chord so that a different note becomes the lowest pitch. Inversions add variety and smooth voice leading to progressions.
Voice Leading: Voice leading involves smoothly transitioning between chords by minimizing large leaps between individual voices or parts.
Harmonic Progression: A harmonic progression is a series of chords played in succession. It provides structure and movement to a piece of music.
