Harmony analysis
Yuri Shatunov – Sedaya noch: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Em and ends on B7. Its chords belong to both G major and Em, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
E minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = C (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = D (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = D# (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 E minor side because it opens on Em, Em is heard 30 times against 3 for G and the major V chord points straight at Em. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G 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 G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 7 different chords appear 96 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Em brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from G, the same B7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Em. E acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- B7 Em GV7/vi → visecondary resolution EmV7 → iharmonic-minor cadence ×23
- Am B7 Gii → V7/vi Emiv → V7iv → V ×12
- D G GV → Iauthentic cadence EmVII → III ×3
- Am Em Gii → vi Emiv → iminor plagal ×3
- Am D Gii → Vii → V Emiv → VII ×3
The move to watch is B7 → Em, heard 23 times. From the Em side it is V7 → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the G side it reads V7/vi → vi (secondary resolution: B7 resolves a fourth up to Em). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- G major pentatonic and E minor pentatonic are the same five notes (G – A – B – D – E): start from G for a brighter phrase, from E for a bluesier one.
- Over Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over B7, land on B, D#, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When B7 comes, swap the scale's D for D#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Em; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Em, B7, Am, C — vi–V7/vi–ii–IV from the G side, i–V7–iv–VI from the Em side. B7 is the interesting twist: in G it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Em it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on B7 → Em (V7/vi → vi in G, V7 → i in Em): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. Ending on B7, the song seals G 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.
