i Cm

Piano sound loads on first tap. Resolved in the key of C — every chord links to its full analysis.

What each degree does

iCm

Home, but in shadow — the minor tonic. The same rest as I, coloured dark and melancholic.

ivsusFsus4

The suspended minor subdominant — the 4th floats over the borrowed iv, softening its bittersweet plagal colour before it 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.

iCm

Home, but in shadow — the minor tonic. The same rest as I, coloured dark and melancholic.
