The I-IVsus-Vsus-I progression I-IVsus-Vsus-I
Level: AdvancedMode: major
Piano sound loads on first tap. Resolved in the key of C — every chord links to its full analysis.
What each degree does
ICmaj
Feels like home — complete rest, where the piece departs from and returns to. The major tonic, where everything settles.
IVsusFsus4
The suspended subdominant — the 4th floats over IV, airing out that already-open degree even further before the 3rd resolves.
VsusGsus4
The suspended dominant — it delays the leading tone by putting the 4th in its place, so the pull toward I is postponed and softened before V resolves.
ICmaj
Feels like home — complete rest, where the piece departs from and returns to. The major tonic, where everything settles.
