Harmony analysis

Erol Evgin – Etme Eyleme (Ziynet Sali): key and chord analysis

The song opens on Ab and ends on A. Its chords belong to both Ab major and Fm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Ab major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = G (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Db (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

F minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Db (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = Eb (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Ab major side because it opens on Ab and Ab is heard 20 times against 4 for Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from F minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Ab or to Fm; 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 Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 12 different chords appear 67 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. A, E, Dbm are borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.

Chord movement

Eb Ab AbV → Iauthentic cadence FmVII → III ×9
Bbm Eb Abii → Vii → V Fmiv → VII ×7
Db Ab AbIV → Iplagal cadence FmVI → III ×2

The move to watch is Eb → Ab, heard 9 times. From the Ab side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Fm side it is VII → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
Over Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Eb, land on Eb, G, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
On A, follow the chord's notes (A · C# · E) rather than the key's scale — it's a borrowed colour.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is Ab; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Ab, Bbm, Eb, A; read them as I–ii–V–bII in Ab or III–iv–VII–#III in Fm. A briefly darkens the picture: neapolitan bii — a dark, dramatic colour a half step above the tonic. Keep an ear on Eb → Ab (V → I in Ab, VII → III in Fm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. It closes on A, letting the Ab 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.
