Dec 15, 2018 at 0:50 comment added Dekkadeci @AllanFelipe - I edited my answer just now to make it clearer. In general, I only classify bIII as a chromatic mediant at all if it is tonicized/modulated into or it is not used like a predominant chord.

Dec 14, 2018 at 23:17 comment added Allan Felipe By the way, It seems that your comment contradicts your post. If the mediant M appears in A->M->B your post says that you pay attention to B ("M resolves to..." is the important thing) and not A, but the comment says the opposite ("M transitions from..." is the important thing).
Dec 14, 2018 at 23:08 comment added Allan Felipe Your answer is close to the kind of reasoning I expected, but maybe not thorough enough. I made an edit to my post.
Dec 10, 2018 at 8:43 comment added Dekkadeci @Allan Felipe - Not unless it transitions directly from V (e.g. I V bIII). If all it does is resolve immediately to V (e.g. I bIII V), I'd call it a modal borrowing.
Dec 9, 2018 at 21:27 comment added Allan Felipe V and I share the bIII as chromatic mediant. Then I think you'd say that if it resolves immediately to V it would be a "chromatic mediant of the V", is that right?
