Moreover, widely used scales containing a minor second interval are not predicted, as this interval does not occur until the 15th and 16th harmonics of a harmonic series.
The inclusion of the minor 2nd interval (from B to C) is also highly dissonant and tugs at the ear for a resolution.
In contrast, another 52-year-old male diabetic patient whose BRS was very low (1.1 ms/mmHg) exhibited very minor RR interval changes during the squatting test (Fig. 2c and d).
In standard Western classical music practice, all tone clusters are classifiable as secundal chords that is, they are constructed from minor seconds (intervals of one semitone), major seconds (intervals of two semitones), or, in the case of certain pentatonic clusters, augmented seconds (intervals of three semitones).
Intervals paired like the pair of major-third and minor-sixth intervals are termed "inverse intervals" in the theory of music.
Some of its strangest, most improbable gestures — trumpets leaning on a piercingly dissonant minor-ninth interval, for example — come straight out of the manuscript.
Each scale analyzed is bounded by two tonics that are separated by an octave (see Figure 1); thus intervals spanning octaves (e.g., in a natural minor scale, the interval of a major third between the seventh scale degree and the second scale degree in the octave above) are not included in the calculation of the mean percentage similarity.
The dissonant chords were made of A, Bb, G, Ab, C, including a minor second, the interval considered as the most dissonant in the literature [29], [30], [31], and several other dissonant intervals.
Major-thirds tuning is closely related to minor-sixths tuning, which is the regular tuning that is based on the minor sixth, the interval of eight semitones.
The recorded chords satisfy the statistical profile discovered by Krumhansl in classical Western music [30], that is, octave relationships are the most frequently, followed by consonant musical intervals (perfect fifth, perfect fourth) and the smallest probability of occurrence is given to dissonant intervals (minor second, augmented fifth, etc).
