Harmony analysis
Feride Hilal Akın – İstanbul'da Aşk (Sheyh Ree): key and chord analysis
The song opens on F#m7 and ends on E. Its chords belong to both A major and F#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
F# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = D (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = E (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F# minor side because it opens on F#m and F#m is heard 13 times while A never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from A major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to A or to F#m; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.
Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis
The key pair is A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 4 different chords appear 52 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
Chord movement
- Dmaj7 E AIVmaj7 → VIV → V F#mVImaj7 → VIIVI → VII ×13
- E F#m7 AV → vi7deceptive cadence F#mVII → i7Aeolian arrival ×12
The move to watch is Dmaj7 → E, heard 13 times. From the F#m side it is VImaj7 → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the A side it reads IVmaj7 → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- A major pentatonic and F# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (A – B – C# – E – F#): start from A for a brighter phrase, from F# for a bluesier one.
- Over F#m7, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bm7, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Dmaj7, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening F#m7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are F#m7, Bm7, Dmaj7, E; read them as vi7–ii7–IVmaj7–V in A or i7–iv7–VImaj7–VII in F#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Dmaj7 → E (IVmaj7 → V in A, VImaj7 → VII in F#m): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. It closes on E, letting the A side have the last word.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
