Enharmonic Respelling

same pitches, new passport

One sound, two names: C♯ is D♭, and a chord respelled changes its implied resolution without changing a single frequency. The symmetric chords (dim7, aug) and the Ger⁺⁶/dominant-7 twin are the great respellers — the entire enharmonic-modulation family works by handing the same notes a different passport at the border.
