- Augmented interval = a normal pitch interval that is taken a chromatic half step larger. - Compound interval = pitch intervals larger than an octave (ninths, tenths, twelfths) - Consonance = pleasing to the ear, stable interval - Diminished interval = a normal pitch interval that is taken a chromatic half step smaller - Dissonance = tonally active interval, jarring to the ear - Generic pitch interval = naming intervals by the span of letter names the interval takes up (seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths) - Imperfect consonance = third, sixth intervals - Interval class = all pitch intervals made from same pitch classes (or transpositions of them) - Interval quality – two generic pitch intervals share same interval number but are not the exact same size - Inversionally related interval = intervals made from same scale degrees but with order reversed - Perfect consonance = unison, fifth, and octave intervals - Pitch interval = the distance on the staff between two pitches - Tritone = interval with six semitones and is between a perfect fourth and perfect fifth in size (diminished fifth or augmented forth); commonly referred to as Diablo in Musica. - Unison = Interval 1, where there is no space between two notes (identical in pitch)
