{{quote|Dr. Riemann...sets himself to demonstrate that every chord within the key-system has, and must have, either a Tonic, [[Dominant (music)|Dominant]] or [[Subdominant]] function or significance. For example, the [[primary triad|secondary triad]] on the sixth degree [submediant] of the scale of C major, ''a-c-e'', or rather ''c-e-a'', is a Tonic 'parallel,' and has a Tonic significance, because the chord represents the C major '[[klang (music)|klang]],' into which the foreign note ''a'' is introduced. This, as we have seen, is the explanation which [[Hermann von Helmholtz|Helmholtz]] has given of this minor chord."|Shirlaw 2010<ref>Shirlaw, Matthew (reprinted 2010).

The name "parallel chord" comes from the [[German language|German]] musical theory, where "Paralleltonart" means not "parallel key" but "relative key", and "parallel key" is "Varianttonart".
