Front (Question)
Analyzing chords in piano music
Back (Answer)
Combine the notes of the upper and lower staff in order to identify the chord. Figured bass numbers indicate the chord's inversion, or the interval between the lowest-sounding note and the notes above it. Root position triads do not get numbers; seventh chords show the superscript 7. The Roman numerals indicate the chord's degree in the scale and its quality.
