  2. Contrasts (Bartók) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrasts_(Bartók)

    Sebes (Fast Dance) The movements contrast in tempo. The first movement contains a cadenza for clarinet and the last one for violin. The piece features examples of alternate or dual-thirds (C and C ♯ in an A triad): [1] This mixed thirds structure may be thought of as bitonal in that the major and minor third of a triad are used.

    That is, a song or other vocal or instrumental piece can be in the key of C major or A minor, but a song or some other piece cannot be in the key of B diminished or F augmented (although songs or other pieces might include these triads within the triad progression, typically in a temporary, passing role). Three of these four kinds of triads are ...

  4. Riemannian theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_theory

    For example, Seitenwechsel ("die Seiten wechseln" translates as "to exchange sides") mapped a triad on to its parallel minor or major, transforming C major to C minor and conversely. [7] Riemann's theory of transformations formed the basis for Neo-Riemannian theory , which expanded the idea of transformations beyond the basic tonal triads that ...

  5. Neo-Riemannian theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Riemannian_theory

    Thus, C major and E minor triads are close by virtue of requiring only a single semitonal shift to move from one to the other. Motion between proximate harmonies is described by simple transformations. For example, motion between a C major and E minor triad, in either direction, is executed by an "L" transformation.

  6. Major and minor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_and_minor

    Major and minor third in a major chord: major third 'M' on bottom, minor third 'm' on top. Major and minor may also refer to scales and chords that contain a major third or a minor third, respectively. A major scale is a scale in which the third scale degree (the mediant) is a major third above the tonic note.

  7. Minor chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_chord

    A minor triad has a minor third (m3) on the bottom, a major third (M3) on top, and a perfect fifth (P5) between the outer notes. In harmonic analysis and on lead sheets, a C minor chord can be notated as Cm, C−, Cmin, or simply the lowercase "c". A minor triad is represented by the integer notation {0, 3, 7}.

  8. Set theory (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theory_(music)

    This means that, for example a major triad and a minor triad are considered the same set. Western tonal music for centuries has regarded major and minor, as well as chord inversions, as significantly different. They generate indeed completely different physical objects. Ignoring the physical reality of sound is an obvious limitation of atonal ...
