Intervals

1.[3p]
Match each interval to the number of semitones it spans.

Minor third
Major third
Perfect fourth
Tritone
Perfect fifth
Major seventh

Show the answer

Minor third: 3 Major third: 4 Perfect fourth: 5 Tritone: 6 Perfect fifth: 7 Major seventh: 11

2.[2p]
What interval is A3 up to F4?

Minor sixth

Correct

Major sixth

The answer is: Minor sixth

Perfect fifth

The answer is: Minor sixth

Augmented fifth

The answer is: Minor sixth

3.[3p]
Write the note a minor sixth above F#4, with its octave number, in the form C5.

CorrectNot quite: D5

4.[3p]
Write the note an augmented fourth above Bb3, with its octave number, in the form C4.

CorrectNot quite: E4

5.[2p]
A major third is inverted. What is the number of the resulting interval?

CorrectNot quite: 6

6.[1p]
An augmented fourth and a diminished fifth span the same number of semitones.

True

Correct

False

The answer is: True

7.[2p]
Why do interval numbers not simply add, so that a third stacked on a third gives a fifth rather than a sixth?

Counting is inclusive, so the shared middle note is counted twice

Correct

Thirds are only approximately three letters wide

The answer is: Counting is inclusive, so the shared middle note is counted twice

Semitones and letters do not correspond exactly

The answer is: Counting is inclusive, so the shared middle note is counted twice

The lower third is always major and the upper always minor

The answer is: Counting is inclusive, so the shared middle note is counted twice

8.[3p]
Which statement about the perfect fourth is correct?

It has the simple ratio 4:3 yet counterpoint treats it as a dissonance when it is above the bass

Correct

It is dissonant because its ratio is complicated

The answer is: It has the simple ratio 4:3 yet counterpoint treats it as a dissonance when it is above the bass

It is consonant in every context, like the octave

The answer is: It has the simple ratio 4:3 yet counterpoint treats it as a dissonance when it is above the bass

It inverts to a major sixth

The answer is: It has the simple ratio 4:3 yet counterpoint treats it as a dissonance when it is above the bass
