In music, a minor seventh chord is a seventh chord composed of a root note, a minor third, a perfect fifth, and a minor seventh (1, ♭ 3, 5, ♭ 7). In other words, one could think of it as a minor triad with a minor seventh attached to it. [2] For example, the minor seventh chord built on A, commonly written as A− 7, has pitches A-C-E-G:
A minor major seventh chord, or minor/major seventh chord (also known as the Hitchcock Chord) is a seventh chord composed of a root, minor third, perfect fifth, and major seventh (1, ♭ 3, 5, and 7). It can be viewed as a minor triad with an additional major seventh. When using popular-music symbols, it is denoted by e.g. m (M7).
The augmented seventh chord, or seventh augmented fifth chord, [1] or seventh sharp five chord is a seventh chord composed of a root, major third, augmented fifth, and minor seventh (1, 3, ♯ 5, ♭ 7). [2] It can be viewed as an augmented triad with a minor seventh. [3] When using popular-music symbols, it is denoted by + 7, aug 7, [2] or 7♯5.
Even so, Johannes Brahms still felt the need to rewrite his C-sharp minor piano quartet in C minor, which was published as Piano Quartet No. 3 in C minor, Op. 60. [citation needed] The last intermezzo from his Three Intermezzi for piano, Op. 117 is in C-sharp minor. Alkan composed the second movement (Adagio) for Concerto for Solo Piano in C ...
Seventh chord. A seventh chord is a chord consisting of a triad plus a note forming an interval of a seventh above the chord's root. When not otherwise specified, a "seventh chord" usually means a dominant seventh chord: a major triad together with a minor seventh. However, a variety of sevenths may be added to a variety of triads, resulting in ...
The harmonic minor scale (or Aeolian ♮7 scale) is a musical scale derived from the natural minor scale, with the minor seventh degree raised by one semitone to a major seventh, [2][3][4] creating an augmented second between the sixth and seventh degrees. Thus, a harmonic minor scale is represented by the following notation: A harmonic minor ...
the root note (e.g. C ♯) the chord quality (e.g. minor or lowercase m, or the symbols o or + for diminished and augmented chords, respectively; chord quality is usually omitted for major chords) whether the chord is a triad, seventh chord, or an extended chord (e.g. Δ7) any altered notes (e.g. sharp five, or ♯ 5)
Minor chord. In music theory, a minor chord is a chord that has a root, a minor third, and a perfect fifth. [2] When a chord comprises only these three notes, it is called a minor triad. For example, the minor triad built on A, called an A minor triad, has pitches A–C–E: A minor triad has a minor third (m3) on the bottom, a major third (M3 ...
