  1. This was interesting.Lower case

    Roman Numerals are used to represent minor keys, i.e. the 'vi chord' in

    the key of C is an A minor chord, usually written as 'Am', not 'A', which

    would be an A major chord. The 'ii' chord and 'iii' chord are

    also minors.  In all cases the minor chords have a 3rd note that is

    dropped 1/2 step from their major chords.  That is, an A major chord would

    be the 1-3-5 notes A-C#-E, and an A minor chord would be A-C-E. The

    seventh chord in this progression is a diminished chord, that means that the

    3rd and the 5th notes of the chord, made from this 7th note in this

    scale, are both dropped 1/2 step.
