You’re correct. A major second and diminished third sound the same, are played the same, but look different on the page. Same for augmented seventh and octave. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a useful context for either. Some intervals are more common than others. Augmented 6 is rare but minor 7 is super common. But they all technically exist! Sometimes humans are just like “what if we did this?” And then we have to give it a name.

Just found this channel and it's great that you use the k.i.s.s method, but I've never understood the double flat notation, it's about as useful as notating a C as a B sharp or notating E as a F flat. Your example had C and a double flat A why is it written like that and not just written as C G, a perfect 5th?
@BradHarrison
Жыл бұрын
Double flats tend to be rarer than double sharps(which are used all the time in minor scales). Imagine a piece in Ab major where the line goes Ab Bb C Db D-nat Db D-nat Db D-nat. You've have to have a flat and natural on every D as they move back and forth. But if you use Db and Ebb, you only need to notate the Ebb(and the D is already flat from the key signature). So it can be useful to reduce extraneous notation, even if it's a bit weir to get used to at first. I agree they're pretty rare in general but they're technically possible and they exist so we give them a name. In many cases, a composer would just default to the "regular" note rather than a double sharp. Nobody prefers them! By the way, E# and similar notes are definitely necessary, far more often than double sharps and flats. You need E# to write a C# major scale or a C# major chord. You might say that Db is preferable but it's a lot easier to transpose from B to C# than it is from B to Db. The more music you play, the more you see this stuff, especially if you get into jazz, musicals, and "contemporary classical" music. Those weird sharps and flats show up all the time. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Brad, you left out a pretty important distinction: a Perfect 4th or 5th are "Perfect" because they are in each other's key signature. C to F is a 4 notes apart. F in in the key signature of C, BUT C is in the key signature of F - therefore, it is Perfect! I think you should have also made the distinction that when a Major interval is inverted, it becomes minor (C to A, Major; A to C, Minor) Minors become Majors. Augmented becomes diminished AND they always add up to 9. Major 3rds become Minor 6ths, Augmented 4ths become diminished 5ths BUT Perfect intervals STAY Perfect. They still add up to 9 though.

Musicians don’t generally work with frequencies. Our instruments and systems are not set up that way. And getting into ratios of intervals and tuning is incredibly complicated. There are different kinds of major thirds when you consider intonation. Look up equal temperament vs just intonation to start. This system is way simpler. You just have to know your scales(which you should know anyway for a million reasons) and a few definitional rules.

Probably a quirk of history, and because tones are more common than semitones in most scales. Regardless, that’s the nomenclature we’re using now. Quarter tones exist but their use is relatively rare. Same with other microtones. We also use cents to measure difference in pitch. There are 100 cents per semitone. They usually come up when talking about “just intonation”. That’s a rabbit hole you may find interesting.
