Talk:Major second

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Removed:

The Mmjor second is considered the most dissonant interval outside of the minor second and major seventh.

...and minor 9th (IMO m9 is even more dissonant that m2). I think having 3 intervals that are much more dissonant takes it out of the running for "most dissonant" :) -- Merphant 11:47, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Oh, I see, all of these interval articles have a "dissonance-o-meter" on them. Well, I don't know how NPOV that is, but maybe I should think about this and comment over at Talk:interval (music) or Talk:dissonance. I'll put it back in this article for now. -- Merphant

Hey, what about the Augmented 4th???

[edit] Augmented second

A major second or whole tone is one of three commonly occurring musical intervals that span two diatonic scale degrees; the others being the minor second, which is one semitone smaller, and the augmented second, which is one semitone larger.

What intervals spanning two degrees of a diatonic scale are augmented seconds? The diatonic scale has just major and minor seconds, right? 141.156.217.167 03:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

It depends on whether you consider the harmonic minor scale to be diatonic or not, as it contains an augmented second between its 6th and 7th degrees. This is currently being discussed at talk:diatonic and chromatic - (Mark: 27 April 07) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.241.1.58 (talk) 13:22, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Way too much jargon

THis article needs a clearer introduction that simply explains the concept without getting lost in similarly unclear terms to readers who are not musically literate. It's like a definition written for people who already know what the definition is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.217.79.176 (talk) 20:32, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
