| | Minor third - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A minor third is the smaller of two commonly occurring musical intervals that span three diatonic scale degrees. | | | The minor third is classed as an imperfect consonance and is considered the most consonant interval after the unison, octave, perfect fifth, perfect fourth, major third, and minor sixth. | | | Minor chords too, take their name from the presence of this interval built on the chord's root (provided that the interval of a perfect fifth from the root is also present or implied). |

| | The smaller interval from root to third in the D chord is called a minor third, and the chord is D minor. | | | The most commonly used chords in western music, triads are the basis of diatonic harmony, and are composed of three notes: a root note, a note which is an interval of a third above the root, and a note which is an interval of a fifth above the root. | | | Suspended chords are most commonly found in folk and pop music, and do not necessarily prepare the ear for a resolution. |

| | The interval of the minor third is the interval that provides the sad sound in music. | | | The Minor Third(m3), gets its' name because one note of the interval is the third note of a scale (ascending or descending) beginning on the other note of the interval, and is exactly three semitones higher or lower than the other note. | | | The minor third is used to add sadness to music. |

| | Second, the near-universality of minor thirds as the interval of base for conveying melody has been an accepted tenet by ethnomusicologists -- they reach from Western music to Asian and native American cultures (where pentatonic scales dominate). | | | I agree with Al Bregman in that we need to look at the interval from the point of view of streaming but I want to turn the issue upside down by noting that the minor third is the **smallest** interval arguably involving two neighboring critical bands, i.e., two streams consisting of notes that are "different". | | | And difference is what music is based on. |
