- Minor_third abstract "In the music theory of Western culture, a minor third is a musical interval that encompasses three half steps, or semitones. Staff notation represents the minor third as encompassing three staff positions (see: interval number). The minor third is one of two commonly occurring thirds. It is called minor because it is the smaller of the two: the major third spans an additional semitone. For example, the interval from A to C is a minor third, as the note C lies three semitones above A, and (coincidentally) there are three staff positions from A to C. Diminished and augmented thirds span the same number of staff positions, but consist of a different number of semitones (two and five). The minor third is a skip melodically.A helpful way to recognize a minor third is to hum the first two notes of Greensleeves or Light My Fire.The minor third may be derived from the harmonic series as the interval between the fifth and sixth harmonics, or from the 19th harmonic.One author feels that the minor third is commonly used to express sadness in music, and research shows that this mirrors its use in speech, as a tone similar to a minor third is produced during sad speech.The minor scale is so named because of the presence of this interval between its tonic and mediant (1st and 3rd) scale degrees. Minor chords too, take their name from the presence of this interval built on the chord's root (provided that the interval of a perfect fifth from the root is also present or implied).A minor third, in just intonation, corresponds to a pitch ratio of 6:5 (About this sound play ) or 315.64 cents. In an equal tempered tuning, a minor third is equal to three semitones, a ratio of 21/4:1 (about 1.189), or 300 cents, 15.64 cents narrower than the 6:5 ratio. In other meantone tunings it is wider, and in 19 equal temperament it is very nearly the 6:5 ratio of just intonation; in more complex schismatic temperaments, such as 53 equal temperament, the "minor third" is often significantly flat (being close to Pythagorean tuning (About this sound play )), although the "augmented second" produced by such scales is often within ten cents of a pure 6:5 ratio. If a minor third is tuned in accordance with the fundamental of the overtone series, the result is a ratio of 19:16, this produces an interval of 297.51 cents.[citation needed] The 12-TET minor third (300 cents) more closely approximates the 19-limit (Limit (music)) minor third 16:19 About this sound Play (297.51 cents, the nineteenth harmonic) with only 2.49 cents error.Other pitch ratios are given related names, the septimal minor third with ratio 7:6 and the tridecimal minor third with ratio 13:11 in particular.The minor third is classed as an imperfect consonance and is considered one of the most consonant intervals after the unison, octave, perfect fifth, and perfect fourth.Instruments in A are a minor 3rd lower than the written pitch in the concert pitch ( C ), i.e. how they are heard. Therefore, to get the written pitch, transpose the concert pitch up a minor 3rd.".
