 dissonant - definition of dissonant in Encyclopedia
Dissonant melodic intervals then included the tritone and all augmented and diminished intervals.
Both consonance and dissonance are words applied to harmony, chords, and intervals and by extension to melody, tonality, and even rhythm and meter.
In music, dissonance is the quality of sounds which seem "unstable", and have an aural "need" to "resolve" to a "stable" consonance.

Dissonant music is thus the music of true and spiritual Democracy; the music of universal brotherhoods; music of Free Souls, not of personalities.
Dissonant music is thus seen as being the music of civilization, the music of MAN. As civilization opposes natural instincts, dams natural impulses in order to release power and mental energy, so dissonant music is based on the hindering of the natural flow of overtones, the basis of consonant music.
For there among those who are working uncompromisingly along the line of dissonant music (which does not include the so-called neo-classicists) we find two main groups which can be said to be represented by two great musical figures: Scriabin and Schöenberg.

At 4 months of age, babies mirror the musical tastes of their elders by showing a clear fondness for consonant sounds and an abiding dislike for dissonant sounds, according to Zentner and Kagan's study.
Infants looked substantially longer at the bull's-eye pattern on the speaker, made fewer movements, and exhibited less fussiness while hearing the consonant melodies than when listening to the dissonant versions of the same tunes, Zentner and Kagan contend.
Certain pairs of musical tones differ in frequency, or number of sound waves per second, in such a way as to prove likable, or consonant, to adult ears when played together.

 MuSICA Research Notes: V IV, I 1, Spring 1997
In short, the perceptual advantage of consonant intervals over dissonant intervals is present at all age levels tested, in particular it is present in infants who can hardly be said to have had much opportunity to learn about tonal music.
Again, the findings were the same; infants processed consonant intervals better than dissonant intervals.(6) Moreover, this bias for consonance occurred both for harmonic intervals (two tones presented simultaneously) and for melodic intervals (two tones presented in sequence).
If the infant turned and looked at the speaker during the time a change in melody occurred (i.e., consonant to dissonant or the reverse), then she or he was rewarded by the illumination of an animated toy.

Although the fate of these studies is not known, what would seem to be two of them - Psalm 137 (1923) and The Letter (1931) - were published in New Music in 1954.
Thus, rhythmically, as well as intervalically, the successive appearance of identical formulations was discouraged - regularity of pitch, interval or rhythm weakened the required dissonant effect.
Thus in First species counterpoint (example 3.1) no consonance between the two parts was allowed; additionally, the melodies themselves consisted in the main of dissonant intervals.

Consonance and dissonance are by definition subjective, but music from all cultures indicates that people prefer certain intervals, such as the octave and the fifth. The Physics of Beats The superposition of two pure tones of equal amplitudes but different frequencies may be illustrated mathematically.
These sounds are often referred to as dissonant sounds, meaning, essentially, unpleasant sounds.
Also, it is generally acknowledged that they “sound bad.” Therefore, the human brain must have some measurable reaction to dissonant sounds, specifically musical beats.

Mozart's "Dissonant" quartet, the "String Quartet in C Major," K. 465, sounds about as dissonant to our early 21st-century ears as Haydn's "Surprise" symphony sounds surprising.
The quartet's "dissonant" opening bars sound to modern audiences like something poignant and somber, which is the treatment the players of the FAQ gave it.
The quartet, one of six Mozart wrote in homage to Haydn, was the opening selection on the second installment of the Fine Arts Quartet's Summer Evenings of Music at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Zelazo Center.
