Harmonic Progression
Functions
All of the degrees of a scale are functions. Each
function has a different effection. However, when describing effections
fundamentally, there are three basic functions which are tonic, subdominant and
dominant. It' s an analysing techniques called schenker. Ex.21 shows the
functions characteristic as basic functions.

Property
Of Functions
Tonic Function (I):
Tonic
function is key's function. A harmonic progression must end with the tonic
function.
Dominant Function (V):
Music is come into existance from tensions. Dominant
function is the most powerful tension and in a harmonic progression, dominant
should go to tonic. I-V and V-I progression can frequently observed in
progressions. It's the element of authentic cadence. The authentic cadence is
that the dominant function occures before the tonic function at the end of
pieces.
Subdominant Function (IV):
Subdominant
function is a preparing step of dominant. Cadances which are consist of
subdominant, are named plagal. The progression is IV-I. It isn't fulfilig like
authentic cadences.
Supertonic Function (II):
Supertonic
function's are related with subdominants. Supertonics be used in plagal
cadences instead of subdominants. Frequently, subdominants don't appear before
the subdominants. It is the next step of tonic.
Mediant Function (III):
This
function related with tonic. It is halfway from tonic to dominant. Mediant
function can't be observed frequently in a harmonic progression.
Submediant Function (VI):
The
submediant function is halfway down tonic to subdominant. The cadence which is consist of V-VI, name is deceptive. Deceptive
cadances are surprising movements. They never deployed at finish of a piece.
Leading-tone (VII):
In
seventh form, leading-tone function is a bifunctional chord. The function
includes subdominant and dominant effections. Thus it can be used in plagal or
authentic cadences. When the leading-tone comes after IV function, the two note
must stay common. Leading -tone can move to dominant but dominant can't move to
leading-tone. The condition same for the tonic function.
