Harmony analysis
Berkay – Karnaval: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Dm and ends on Am. Its chords belong to both F major and Dm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
D minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Bb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = C (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because it opens on Dm and Dm is heard 8 times against 4 for F. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 6 different chords appear 24 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
Chord movement
- C F FV → Iauthentic cadence DmVII → III ×4
- Bbmaj7 Dm FIVmaj7 → vi DmVImaj7 → iVI → i ×4
- Am Dm Fiii → vi Dmv → inatural-minor cadence ×1
The move to watch is C → F, heard 4 times. From the Dm side it is VII → III; from the F side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- F major pentatonic and D minor pentatonic are the same five notes (F – G – A – C – D): start from F for a brighter phrase, from D for a bluesier one.
- Over Dm, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bbmaj7, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over C, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Dm; the ear learns where home is within a second. Dm, Bbmaj7, C, F carry the song: vi–IVmaj7–V–I relative to F, i–VImaj7–VII–III relative to Dm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on C → F (V → I in F, VII → III in Dm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. Ending on Am, the song seals F as home.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
