"...Subdominant (used to mean the 4th of the scale, or the chord built on it. Now means ANY chord that can lead to a dominant (though it doesn't invariably have to)...etc." From: Christopher Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Well, I'm no theorist, and I'm certainly not up to date on the latest shifts in terminology, but I would certainly never use this definition of subdominant, which has a perfectly good definition already understood and in use. ANY chord can lead to a dominant, which would mean that any chord could be called a subdominant, which is no aid to analysis!
