User:VectorGraphics/Augmented and diminished intervals: Difference between revisions
Created page with "I find the words "augmented" and "diminished" not that useful. Let's step through some major thirds: {| class="wikitable" |+ !ratio !edosteps !cents |- | |4/12 |400 |- |5/4..." |
m Lériendil moved page User:VectorGraphics/Augmented and dimininshed intervals to User:VectorGraphics/Augmented and diminished intervals without leaving a redirect: fixed a typo |

Yup. That's right. According to the definition of augmented, all these different intervals - varying by over 200 cents - are augmented thirds. Yes, even that large tritone (which is extra cursed). The theoretical maximum and minimum within diatonic scales vary by 378 cents (interestingly, a major third) and overlap with major thirds, supermajor thirds, and even perfect fifths. | Yup.

Now, it might be a little unfair to compare augmented thirds specifically given how much | Now, it might be a little unfair to compare augmented thirds specifically given how much thirds can already vary across diatonic scales, so let's instead take a peek at augmented fifths: | ||
