  2. Circle of thirds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_thirds

    For example, the cycle of thirds is inherently important to chord construction, as most triads are built on the cycle of thirds. [2] Because the circle of thirds is based on the order of thirds in a scale, rather than its ascending scale degrees, the scale degrees of the cycle are in the following order: 1-3-5-7-2-4-6. In the key of C, the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_seventh_chord

    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).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminished_triad

    Unlike the dominant triad or dominant seventh, the leading-tone triad functions as a prolongational chord rather than a structural chord since the strong root motion by fifth is absent. [6] On the other hand, in natural minor scales, the diminished triad occurs on the second scale degree; in the key of C minor, this is the D diminished triad (D ...
