Understanding Chords and Inversions

from Piano Key A to G · host William Haviland

Episode three of my new piano podcast deals with basic chords [triads] and their possible 'inversions', or put another way, the rearranging of their constituent parts. We consider some examples, and attempt to analyze how the music changes when we use chords in their root, first, and second inversion positions. What is the purpose of inversions - why should we use them in our music? Happy piano playing!
