Tool for finding chords, harmonies and keys

The invention relates to a device used in music.

The harmonization of a simple song includes at least the main functions, for more sonorous ones Songs also the secondary functions; the melodic movement gets through the chord accompaniment their expressiveness. The device makes it possible to find the Chord fingerings, functions and keys.

3 So far there are two books on the market, but they only show chord fingerings:

Wolfgang Schneider: "Chords under control", publisher Hans Sikorski, Hamburg, 1969, and Helmut Nagel: "An overview of chords", Verlag Hans Sikorski, Hamburg, 1978. Furthermore, the German Patent Office has registered a utility model under no. GM 78 14 902 with the designation "The small chord finder" has been protected by the applicant Günther W. Kliem and Harald Bier are.

criticism

of the stand

of the technique:

The two booklets and "The Little Chord Finder" essentially have the following deficiencies: 1. They do not provide any information about the functions the key to be played.

-2-

-2-

2. They do not contain any information about the parallel key belonging to the respective major key Minor key.

3. The chord fingerings are only suitable for keyboard instruments.

4. The fingerprints are only arranged in chromatic order, so each one is missing functional context.

5. With the booklets up to 55 pages have to be turned to get a chord fingering Find.

6. "The little chord finder" shows only 24 chord fingerings in their basic position. So it would be more than 20 such "chord finders" are required to find even the most important chord fingerings to show.

Task:

The invention has for its object to provide a device that has a fast Finding the chord fingerings, functions and keys allows you to do so without the ones outlined above To have flaws. At the same time it should help the musician to translate the theory into the Facilitate practice.

Solution:

The solution to this problem is according to the invention by the in the characterizing part of Main claim given features achieved. Advantageous further developments result from the subclaims.

For example, a disk described on its front side (as indicated in FIG. 1 and No. 1a) and on its rear side (as indicated in FIG. 2 and No. 2a) can be used as the base body, and two can then be used as the cover body to this base disk

-3-

concentrically arranged and rotatable about the common center disc with smaller Diameter than that of the base disk can be used, with the in Figure No. Ib Cover plate shown with the recesses and labels also specified there on the front of the base plate (Figure No. 1 and No. la) and the cover plate shown in Figure No. 2b with the there also indicated recesses and lettering on the back of the base plate (Figure No. 2 and No. 2a) is to be arranged.

Further
Design
the invention:

The device gives:

1. by adjusting one of two around the main body (figure # 1 and # la) sliding cover body (Figure No. Ib) on the desired chord in its recesses the chord fingering in the basic position and inversions on the main body (figure no.1 and no.la) readable on;

2. by setting the cover body mentioned under 1. (Figure No. Ib) to a desired one Key the associated main functions (Har-Monien) on the main body (figure no. 1 and no. la) readable;

3. to the left of the major key, the parallel minor key and the secondary functions on the Main body (figure no. 1 and no. La) readable on;

4. by adjusting the second cover body, which can be moved around the main body (Figure 2b) the -5-, + 5-, O / verm / dim - chords on the main body (figure no. 2 and no. 2a) can be read that can be combined with the chords of the first cover body (figure no. Ib).

Achievable
Advantages:

-4-

The advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular in the following: Due to the optimal and clear arrangement of the bodies that can be moved against each other, Their labels and their recesses make a cumbersome and time-consuming one superfluous Leaf through chord books. At least 20 "small chord finders" would also be required, to come close to the statement of the invention.

Example 1 ;

The cover disk indicated in Figure No. Ib is rotated so that the one located at its edge The notch points to the "C" of the base plate (Figure no. 1 and no. La). The following can be read on the base plate:

1. the main functions, "FCG", namely "F" as the left end point, _tj C "above the notch and" G "as the right end point of the line" main functions "drawn on the cover plate;

2. the secondary functions, "dm-am-em", directly to the left of the main functions just mentioned;

3. the parallel minor key, “.

.am ", namely

directly to the left of "C";

4. the C chord in the basic position, "C-E-G",

namely in three square recesses arranged next to one another on a circular line the cover disk;

5. the 1st inversion of the C chord, "E-G-C", namely in a rectangular recess in the cover plate;

6. the 2nd inversion of the C chord, "G-C-E", namely in the rectangular recess of the cover disk located under the first inversion;

7. the seventh to the C chord, "B", in the octagonal recess of the cover plate;

-5-

example 2

P !. the Ma j to the C chord, "H", in the triangular Recess of the cover disk;

9. the sixth to the C chord, "A", in the up the top of the square recess of the cover disk.

The cover disk indicated in Figure No. 2b is rotated so that the one located at its edge Orientation mark on the "C" of the base plate (Figure No. 2 and No. 2a) shows. The following can be read on the base plate:

1. the C + / C + chord, "C-E-G sharp", in the two adjacent square recesses "C-E" and in the octagonal recess "G sharp";

2. der_C- ⁵ / C chord, "CE-F sharp", in the

two adjacent square recesses "C-E" and in the one on the tip standing square recess "F sharp".

Example 3 ;

The cover disk indicated in FIG. 2b is rotated in such a way that of the four round recesses located in its inner circle, the one located furthest to the left in its recess allows the "C" of the base disk (FIGS. 2 and 2a) to appear the four round recesses in the cover disk on the base disk of the C ° / Cverm. / Cdim chord can be read! 1. in its basic position, "C-Dis-Fis-A"; 2 .. in its 1st inversion, “Dis-F sharp-AC ⁿ ;

3. in its 2nd inversion, "F #-A-C-Dis";

4th in its 3rd inversion, "A-C-Dis-F sharp".
