: The [[minorMinor (music)chord|minor]] [[tonic (music)|tonic]], [[subdominant]], [[Dominant (music)|dominant]], and their parallels, created by lowering the fifth (German) / root (English) a whole tone.
 
The parallel [[chord (music)|chord]] (but ''not'' the [[#Counter parallel|counter parallel]] chord) of a major chord will always be the minor chord whose [[root (chord)|root]] is a [[minor third]] ''down'' from the major chord's root, inversely the parallel chord of a minor chord will be the major chord whose root is a minor third ''up'' from the root of the minor chord. Thus, in a major [[key (music)|key]], where the dominant is a major chord, the dominant parallel will be the minor chord a minor third below the dominant. In a minor key, where the dominant may be a minor chord, the dominant parallel will be the major chord a minor third above the (minor) dominant.
