The scenario Joel gave was the resolution of a complete V7 to I in the major (scale degrees for the voicing given below): 4 7 2 5
Obviously 4 in the soprano has to resolve down to 3, and the 5 in the bass has to go to 1. I proposed this: 3 5 1 1
Joel objected to this though because it fails to correctly resolve the tritone between the leading tone and 4 in the soprano and alto. He proposed either 3 1 1 1
or 3 1 3 1 Tom would have preferred a complete I, though, I think. He and Tony Barone also always chided me whenever I doubled the 3rd in I, IV, or V.
