: : How is it determined which alterations are applied to
: : any particular dominant chord??
: One way would be to look at the V chord moving from say a key center and choose the upper extentions of the V chord that are most natural from the key center you are in. Ex. C Db7 would have of course D F# C <--- these would be non-negotiable
: then your nine could be Eb9 or Fb#9 (not both)
: the 11 would be a G #11 and a b13 A. Now of course melody would naturaly TRUELY dictate the harmony but from the perspective you outline I believe this is it!
: heh?
An excellent and helpful viewpoint. Thanks!!
