Viennese trichord as dominant Play.
A Viennese trichord as a part of 6-z17, embellishing the first (C7) chord, from Bill Evans's opening to "What Is This Thing Called Love?"[1] Play.

In music theory, a Viennese trichord (Play), named for the Second Viennese School, is prime form <0,1,6>. It has Forte #3-5. As opposed to Hindemith and 037 (Play), "Composers such as Webern ... are partial to 016 trichords, given their 'more dissonant' inclusion of ics 1 and 6."[2]

In jazz and popular music, the chord usually has a dominant function, being the third, seventh, and added sixth/thirteenth of a dominant chord with elided root[1] (and fifth, see jazz chord).
