	Augmented Sixth Chords
		The chord that resulted from this substitution contained the interval of the augmented sixth between scale degree #4, usually occurring in the soprano, and scale degree 6, the lowered sixth scale degree from the natural minor usually occurring in the bass.
		The Italian Sixth is the simplest of the augmented sixth chords.
		The note determining the functional identity of the chord is the seventh of the dominant 7th and the "root" of the German 6/5 (the note that usually appears in the soprano and forms the interval of the augmented sixth with the bass).

		The augmented 6th chords are a type of chromatically altered chords like the secondary dominant, secondary diminished 7th, and the Neapolitan 6th chords.
		The chords are named for the #6 or augmented sixth interval found between the b6 scale degree and the #4 scale degree.
		In an augmented sixth chord, the interval between b6 and #4 is an augemented 6th.

	The Dominant Seventh and Augmented Sixth Discords
		The augmented sixth is a chromatic chord, in that at least one of its tones must be foreign to the key signature.
		In the augmented sixth this is reversed, so that the tritone is resolved to a third by the third moving down and the seventh moving up.
		Like the dominant seventh, the resolution of the augmented sixth is frequently extended with the interpolation of a second inversion triad on the same bass note as the resolution chord.

	Augmented sixth chord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An augmented sixth chord is a chord containing the written interval of an augmented sixth between two of its notes.
		The raised sixth indicates its usual method of resolution: it is a leading-tone, much like the third of a dominant chord, which is meant to resolve by semitone upward.
		Though by itself an augmented sixth chord may sound similar (or identical) to a dominant seventh chord, its effect combined with the surrounding harmony is quite different.

		An added sixth chord built on C consists of the notes C, E, G, and the added sixth A. These are the same notes as those of an A minor seventh chord - whether such a chord should be regarded as an added sixth chord or a seventh depends on its context and harmonic function.
		The Neapolitan sixth is the first inversion of a major triad built on the flattened supertonic (second degree of the scale) - a Neapolitan sixth in C major, therefore, consists of the notes D flat, F and A flat.
		It being a first inversion explains the sixth part of its name; why the name makes reference to Naples is less clear, though it may be because the chord was particularly popular with composers of the so-called Neapolitan school of the 18th century.

		Augmented sixth chords: These are a group of chromatic chords usually occur on the flattened submediant or flattened supertonic.
		The drive of the (German) augmented sixth chord towards the dominant is frequently exploited in harmony (used instead of II).
		The augmented sixths (augmented triad=affecting chord), the Neapolitan sixth and the supertonic chromatic chords are examples.

	Augmented sixth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The prefix 'augmented' identifies it as being the largest of the three intervals; the others being the major sixth and minor sixth, which are one and two semitones smaller, respectively.
		In the tuning system known as equal temperament the augmented sixth is equal to ten semitones and is a dissonant interval.
		In its most common and expected resolution, the lower note of the interval moves downwards by a minor second to the dominant while the upper note, being chromatically inflected, is heard as the leading note of the dominant key, rising naturally by a minor second.

	Chromatic Chords
		Augmented sixth chords derive from a common cadence in the minor mode - the "Phrygian" cadence, which consists of IV6 - V. Like the "borrowed" chords discussed above, they arise from an expanded scalar resource: here the leading tone belonging to the dominant.
		The characteristic interval of the augmented 6th is formed between the bottom note of the IV6 (^6 in minor) and this new note that is a semitone below ^5.
		Although the origin of the augmented sixth chords is in the minor mode, they are used freely in major in the 19th century.

		The augmented sixth arises out of both mixture and chromaticism: most characteristically, the augmented sixth occurs between the lowered sixth degree of the scale and raised scale degree four.
		The resulting interval, an augmented sixth, resolves in contrary motion by half step--that is--it expands to an octave built on scale degree five.
		Because the majority of augmented sixth chords are built upon the lowered sixth degree in major, they often function as a chromatically altered II or IV chord.

		Depending on how it was used, it would be a Neapolitan, German Sixth, French Sixth, or Italian Sixth, and it would be spelled with all sorts of weird enharmonics so you wouldn't recognize it as a seventh chord at all.
		In other words the sixth degree of Db is Bb so B is the augmented sixth.
		The problem is that in order for the voice-leading that defines the augmented 6th to work, you have to expand the augmented 6th to an octave, and once you do that you're outside of common practice in jazz because you now have a plain triad, rather than the standard 7th chord.

		The trait in question is the frequent use of augmented sixth chords and dominant seventh chords with the flatted fifth, by which Prokofiev attempts to create a sense of tonal ambiguity.
		Depending on the context, an augmented sixth chord can resolve either to a tonic a major sixth below the root of the chord, in which case the chord truly functions as an augmented sixth, or to a tonic a perfect fifth below the root, in which case it functions as a dominant:
		The German augmented sixth chord that appears in measures 6 and 11, likewise functions within a context that makes its function fairly clear.

	Augmented Sixth Chord Tutorial
		Early composers actually wrote the augmented sixth relationship resolving to the tonic.
		Later composers chose to use the augmented sixth resolution to V instead of I, because as theory progressed, the ornamentation or strengthening of the chords that resolved to V became preferred over the ornamentation or strengthening of the sonorities that resolved to tonic.
		Each of the three augmented sixth chords begins with determining the two leading tones to the dominant (the sharp-4th scale degree and the flat-6th scale degree).
