Talk:Minor chord

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've removed this:

A minor chord in just intonation corresponds to a pitch ratios of 14:12:10 (7.5:6:5, for comparison with the major chord)

The first bit is probably a typo which I've corrected (should be 15:12:10), but the bit in brackets I don't understand - I've scratched my head quite a bit over it, but can't get anything from it. I daresay it can go back in if its clarified, but as it stood, I don't think it was very helpful. --Camembert

Yah, 14 is a typo. However, the ratio 15:12:10 is a little more than an octave higher than the ratio given for the major chord, 6:5:4.Hyacinth 19:13, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Well, it's all relative, isn't it: I mean, you can have a 6:5:4 chord three octaves above middle C or three octaves below - you don't need to change the numbers, all the matters is that they're in the right ratio. But I know what you mean - for the benefit of comparing numbers it might, I suppose, be useful to mention that 15:12:10 could also be "spelled" 6:4.8:4 (which is analogous to 6:5:4 for the major triad). --Camembert
