What is a reduced chord?
Reduced chord is created by taking the main chord and lowering the third and fifth intervals by half a step. The main chords consist of a root note and two main third intervals, while reduced chords pair the same root note with two smaller thirds. Reduced seventh is a special range of reduced chord that adds another smaller third to progression. For example, the song in the key C without shells or apartments is based on the main scale C: C, D, E, F, G, A, B and octave C. This main scale provides a song with a positive sound. Reducing or reducing some chords can change the tone of songs without having to rewrite the piece in another key.
The main trio is created by accepting the root interval, the third interval and the fifth interval and plays them all at the same time. The name of the chord is its root note; For example, the chord C always has a root remark. The scale interval is the note number in relation to the root; In this example, E is the third interval of the main scale C. To createReduced chords are used two smaller third intervals. Reduced chord C, written as CDIM in musical notation, therefore contains notes C, E Flat and G Flat/F Sharp.
tiny thirds always consist of three half steps from the previous note and are called smaller thirds because of their role in creating small scales, for example from C to plane. Compared to the main third, they consist of four half -life, for example C to E. Smaller chords have a more melancholy sound, but they are still interface. On the other hand, the sounding chord is because of the relationship between the root and the octave: Two Notes played half a step apart will be a dissonant.
The special type of reduced chord is reduced seventh, used to provide full, rich sound. It adds another smaller third interval to progression. In chord C, reduced seventh contains notes C, E Flat, F Sharp and A. If another smaller third were added, another note would be an octave; The octave tends to suppress other tones in the chord.
most often is the goal to reduceNot three to provide smaller and dissonant sound with the existence of two smaller third intervals. Perfect fifth, such as C to G, has a balanced sound quality. Reducing the notes removes the balance of sound as a whole.
