A '''minor third (m3)''' is the smaller of the two thirds – intervals spanning 3 degrees or 2 scale steps in the diatonic scale. It is found between the 1st and 3rd notes of the minor scale, hence its name. Another diatonic interval around the same size is the '''augmented second''' ('''A2'''). More generally, an interval close to 300 cents in size can be called a minor third. | A '''minor third (m3)''' is the smaller of the two thirds – intervals spanning 3 degrees or 2 scale steps in the diatonic scale.
