In the diatonic scale, the '''major third''' is the major variant of the 2-diastep, or ''third.'' It is generated by stacking 4 [[Diatonic perfect fifth|diatonic perfect fifths]] and octave-reducing. It can be stacked with a [[diatonic minor third]] to form a perfect fifth, and as such is often involved in chord structures in diatonic harmony. | In the diatonic scale, the '''major third''' is the major variant of the 2-diastep, or ''third.''
