To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A ' Fifth, ' for example, does not stand for a ffth part of an octave, or indeed for a ffth part of anything, but for the difference of pitch between the first and fifth notes of the scale. The several pairs of notes forming the intervals laid down in our table do not all produce smooth and agreeable effects when sounded together. The following pairs blend pleasantly : 1—3, 1—4, 1—5, 1—6, 1—8 ; the remaining two, 1—2 and 1—7, give rise to decidedly harsh effects. The intervals in the first line... are therefore classed as concords, those in the second as discords, 32. The minor scale has the notes 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 in common with the major scale. It substitutes for 3 II. § 33. ] MAJOR AND IIINOR IXTERTALS. 63 a sound lying between that note and 2, wliicli forms with 1 a consonant interval called the Mmor Third. According to cu-cumstances it may either retain G, or i-eplace it by a sound lying betv/een that note and 5, which makes with 1 a concord called the Minor Sixth. Similarly it may employ 7, or, in the room of that note, a fresh sound situated below it, but above 6, which with 1 forms a discord called the Minor Seventh.
