It is represented by V^. Figure 37,a, and Figure 36, the first and eighth chords. In the celebrated Hunting Chorus from Von Webers Der Freischiitz thereare twenty-four measures made entirely of I and V^ chords.

If the student is inclined to consider this fanci-ful, let him play this V^ chord on the piano a few times, leavingit unresolved, and he will at once- see how unsatisfying the effectis. • Exercise.
