Translation of "Große terz" in English

A major third corresponds to four semitones, a minor third accordingly to three semitones.

This major third is exactly the just (5:4) major third in quarter-comma meantone.

Simultaneously, there is heard the whistle - call of the cuckoo, created by two organ pipes, tuned to a minor or major third.

The lowest four strings are a major-third above those of a standard guitar and the highest two strings are a fourth above a standard guitar, i.e.

For the pitches, Stockhausen built a scale in which the interval between successive steps consists of the frequency proportion 5 25 {\displaystyle {\sqrt{5}}} —in other words, the interval of 5:1 (two octaves plus a just major third) is divided into 25 equal parts.

The tonal conflict in this Symphony centers on B and the tonalities a major third above and below it (G and E-flat).

Each melody begins with a different characteristic interval followed by a semitone in the opposite direction, and this three-note figure continues to predominate in each section: rising major third and falling minor second, rising major seventh (the first note is repeated several times) and falling minor second, and finally a falling perfect fourth and rising minor seventh (Frisius 1988).

If the selection area is now shifted to the next interval within the scope of a circle of thirds arrangement or a symmetry circle arrangement, only one single tone is played, as in these tone quality arrangements for example the next interval represents a major third.

Some experts claim that ibn Sina's promotion of the consonance of the major third led to the use of just intonation rather than the intonation associated with Pythagoras .

Due to the periodicity of the tone qualities with respect to the octave, the associated tone qualities c and e however comprise a major third as an interval.

Imagine how unbearable the music would be if you could perceive only sounds of the precise frequencies of 440 Hz (the concert pitch A), 550 Hz (a major third over it) and 660 Hz (a fifth over the A).

Thus, it is, for example, possible that the display device 610 uses a representation which exactly models the symmetry model and/or the cadence circle, which means that with regard to the angle the distance of two adjacent pitch classes depends on whether the smallest pitch interval is a minor third or a major third.

From the above it follows that a contrary effect can be attained if the same key has been prepared for by the lower major second degree (modal dominant), or the upper major third degree (III).

The vibrations of hydrogen are shaped by pure intervals: Octave, fifth, major third, natural seventh and eleventh harmonic.

The most common chord is a major chord (root, major third, fifth) and minor chords (because towers, minor third, fifth)

At first, they used only a few tones at large intervals from each other; first 10 tones a sixth apart, then 20 tones at a major third, and finally 39 which were separated only by a whole tone.

Thus, the following key intervals on the circle result: if the tonal interval, i.e. the (smallest) pitch interval between two adjacent pitch keys is a major third, then the angle spanned by the two pitch keys is 4×15°=60°.

Using the second (as above) sounds unacceptable for me; using the major third (with c-natural) is in this case a little more acceptable, but still has that "opening effect" explained above.

The 8 Toms are tuned in major and minor thirds.

By combining a circle of 8n holes with another of 10n we produced sounds that stood a major third apart from each other, and in the same manner we were able to produce tremeloes of fourths and fifths.

This instrument is recommended when musical development has progressed to the great and small third, the major and minor moods, when it becomes possible to play familiar pieces of music.

One example is the so-called symmetry circle model in which also major and minor thirds are alternatingly strung together.

Subsequently, the course 500 increases again until it reaches a maximum in the area of the marking 505 d, i.e. in the area of the major third.

This means that two adjacent keys which correspond to a (smallest) pitch interval of a major third are arranged further apart on the circle and/or the symmetry circle 915 than two pitch keys which have an associated (smallest) pitch interval which corresponds to a minor third.

Accordingly, a minor third and/or an interval of a minor third is a pitch interval of four semitones, a major third or a major third interval is an interval with five semitone steps and a fifth and/or a fifth interval is an interval with eight semitones, wherein the two pitches forming the interval are respectively counted.
