Music Theory QuickThink: 

-          A leading tone chord contains scale degrees 7, 2, and 4

-          Since scale degrees 7 and 4 are considered tendency tones, they normally follow their typical resolutions (7 resolves up by step, 4 resolves down by step)

-          The scale degree 4 can resolve up by step under two special circumstances

• o   If scale degree 7 is above scale degree 4 (forming an A4 interval) both pitches can resolve up by step
• o   If the bass of a vii6 chord moves upward by step to the i6 chord, the scale degree 4 can also move up by step, resulting in parallel 10ths between the bass and this voice
