Line 69: [[Image:Contrast chord example.png\|thumb\|Contrast chord example {{audio\|Contrast chord example.mid\|Play}}: C major and E minor contrast through their respective notes C and B (in red and orange), each a half step apart or leading tones. The chords share two notes (in blue) however.]] The '''counter parallel''' or '''contrast chord''' is terminology used in German theory derived mainly from Hugo Riemann to refer to (US:) [[relative (music)\|relative]] (German: parallel) [[diatonic function]]s and is abbreviated Tcp in major and tCp in minor (Tkp respectively tKp in Riemann's diction). The chord can be seen as the "tonic parallel reversed" and is in a major key the same chord as the [[dominant parallel]] (Dp) and in a minor key equal to the subdominant parallel (sP); yet, it has another function. According to Riemann the chord is derived through '''''Leittonwechselklänge''''' (German: "[[leading-tone]] contrast chords"), abbreviated Tl in major and tL in minor. {\| class="wikitable"
