-'''4:5:6''' is the otonal [[major triad]], also known as the '''classical''' '''major triad''', '''Ptolemaic major triad''', or more generally - albeit less precisely - as the '''just major triad'''. It is among the most consonant triads, and it is among the most common triads in music.

-In counterpoint and some derived theories (but not necessarily modern pop or xenharmonic theory), its most concordant rotation, 3:4:5, is not typically considered to be consonant, as the fourth above the root is considered a dissonance (due to the fifth-centric nature of counterpoint).
+Its second rotation, 3:4:5, reportedly has a lower [[harmonic entropy]]. However, 3:4:5 is not typically considered to be consonant in counterpoint and some derived theories (but not necessarily modern pop or xenharmonic theory), as it is not only [[rooted interval|nonrooted]] but the fourth above the root contrasts and therefore wants to move to the missing major third.
