  submediant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In music, the submediant is the sixth degree of the scale.
For example, in the C major scale (white keys on a piano), the submediant is the note A; and the submediant chord uses the notes A, C, and E. In music theory, the submediant chord is symbolized with the Roman numeral VI if major or vi if minor.
For example, relative to the key of C major, the key of A major is the submediant.

The submediant triad is built on the sixth degree of the scale.
Submediant is one of the most versatile chords.
The submediant and mediant triads are commonly found in first inversion when they are part of harmonic sequence, or part of series of chords in first inversion.

 Submediant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The submediant chord figures heavily in Jazz music, where it is used in the "ice cream change" progression which moves from the tonic through the submediant on the way to the ubiquitous 2-5-1 Jazz sequence.
This progression sounds pleasant since the submediant a relative fifth above the supertonic.
In German theory derived from Hugo Riemann the submediant in major is considered the tonic parallel (US relative), Tp, and the minor the subdominant parallel, sP.

 OCR Document
Since the submediant and mediant are used very little in this manner, however, they are mentioned only in passing.
When the submediant and mediant are employed in first inversion, they generally follow a root position triad whose bass note is the same as that of their own first inversion note.
In progressions in which roots are a second apart and the soprano and bass move in the same direction, the third of the submediant triad must be doubled in order to avoid parallel octaves, fifths, and/or melodic augmented seconds.

 Triads
Secondary triads are from the supertonic, mediant and submediant.
The dominant and submediant are both major triads.
Melodic: Because the sixth and seventh degrees of the ascending scale are different to the descending scale, each degree of the scale except the tonic has two possible triads.

 Shostakovich String Quartets Conclusion
The submediant is the sixth note in the rising scale, and in any major scale the submediant note defines the tonic of the major scale's relative minor, that is the minor scale which uses exactly the same notes (naturals, sharps and flats) that the major uses.
What he did was, instead of using the submediant note to generate the next scale in an alternating succession of major and minor as is shown in Table 3, he first choose to use only major scales and only when they had been used did he start to compose with the minor scale.
In that table the first three columns reproduce the scheme already shown in table 3, whilst the fifth shows his scheme of using the key of column 3 first as the tonic of a major scale before it is employed in the minor.

Recall that moving away from the tonic one step to the right or to the left results in the Aeolian and Mixolydian modes respectively, each of which differ from Dorian by one tone.
When these alternate mediant and submediant tones are added to the Dorian system, in a total of nine tones results.
The two types of mediants and submediants are designated major and minor.
