Harmony analysis

Ahmet Ali Arslan – Un Ufak: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Fm and ends on C. Its chords belong to both Ab major and Fm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Ab major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = G (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Db (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

F minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Db (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = Eb (natural-minor colour)
#7 = E (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because it opens on Fm, Fm is heard 15 times against 10 for Ab and the major V chord points straight at Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Ab major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Ab or to Fm; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.

Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis

The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 8 different chords appear 75 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Fm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Ab, the same C / C7 is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Fm. Gm step outside the scale as colour chords.

Chord movement

Cm Fm Abiii → vi Fmv → inatural-minor cadence ×6
C7 Fm AbV7/vi → visecondary resolution FmV7 → iharmonic-minor cadence ×3
C Fm AbV/vi → vi FmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×3

The move to watch is Cm → Fm, heard 6 times. From the Fm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Ab side it reads iii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
When C7 comes, swap the scale's Eb for E: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Fm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Fm, Gm, Bbm, Ab — vi–vii–ii–I from the Ab side, i–ii–iv–III from the Fm side. C is the interesting twist: in Ab it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Fm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Cm → Fm (iii → vi in Ab, v → i in Fm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. The final chord is C; the ear comes to rest in Ab.

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.
