How do you know/find the Dominant chord in a progression?

[Ogg Vorbis]

Implied, eh? So the following sequence has NO chords in it - just "implied harmonies?"

It has not chords in it no. Chords have to be more than one note sounding at the same time. If there is only ever one note played at any given time, it cannot - by definition - contain chords.

Of course, if played on the piano and the sustain pedal is pressed, then the result may produce chords as there will be more than one note sounded at a time.

I am speechless.

[A.M. Gold]

I'm pretty sure an arpeggio is still defined as a chord.

there are only 12 freaking notes!

? on your piano there are ?



where we find 11 quite distinctive >and useful< notes from what you appear to understand as from 1 to 3.
There's the theory, which is just a description of what can happen in practice:




also, in this extremely old raga (documented as early as the late 15th c) there is not a lot of trouble about any 'leading tone'. Such a received cultural norm can be extremely specific and narrow. *Muaic* is not limited like this.
