Ø When constructing the augmented 6th chord, the first is to place the 6th scale degree in the base for either of them.

Ø The note in the soprano will resolve up by half step, while the note in the base resolves down by half step, which is an octave from the note above.
This image displaced the German augmented 6th chord in a four-part melody in the key of C minor.

Ø The tenor voice's Italian and French scale degree one will resolve down by half step to the leading tone note. And the German scale degree one in the tenor voice will keep a common tone before resolving because of the credential 6/4 chord.
Ø The Italian will double up on the tonic, using it also in the alto voice, which will resolve up by step.
Ø The French will use the second scale degree in the alto, which will keep a common tone when resolving.
Ø The German will use a flat third scale degree in the alto, keeping a common tone due to the credential 6/4 chord and then resolving to the fifth chord.
