What Are Chord Progressions With "Smooth Voice Leading"?
Q. So I'm trying to test out of piano this week and I was wondering if someone could clear this portion up...
"Chord Progressions
I, IV, I, V7, I (with smooth voice leading - hands together)
All major keys, plug C, D, E, F, and A minor"
I'm not sure what it is I'm supposed to do exactly? I'm not even quite sure what "smooth voice leading" is. If anyone could clear this up, that would be great!
Thanks!
A. If you think of each note of a chord as an individual voice, then smooth voice leading means that no one voice jumps around too much. Stepwise motion is your friend, and avoid leaps (moving any one voice by a 3rd or more).

What are the names of these piano chords?
Q. I have this really cool chord progression! It goes like this:
First Chord: Eb/Ab/Bb
Second: Eb/A/Bb
Thrid: Eb/F/Bb
Fourth:Eb/Bb
If anyone knows this, please let me know! I want to put it to something.
A. You really can't apply normal names to these chords. What you're doing here is something called "quartal" harmony, which means that your chords are built in 4ths. Most Western music utilizes "tertial" harmony, where chords are built in 3rds. All the names for the chords we use are based on tertial harmony. They don't apply to quartal stuff.
You CAN give them names, but it's missing the point. Several composers have made liberal use of quartal harmony, but it's difficult to analyze. It's just one of those sounds that doesn't have really solid names yet.
