A '''major second''' ('''M2''') is the larger of two "seconds" - intervals spanning 2 degrees or 1 scale step in the diatonic scale. It is found on the 1st note of the major scale, hence its name. Because it is one step, it is also called a "whole tone". Another diatonic interval [[Enharmonic|around the same size]] is the '''diminished third'''. | A '''major second''' ('''M2''') is the larger of two "seconds" - intervals spanning 2 degrees or 1 scale step in the diatonic scale.
