Third (chord)

In music, the third factor of a chord is the note or pitch two scale degrees above the root or tonal center. When the third is the bass note, or lowest note, of the expressed triad, the chord is in first inversion. Conventionally, the third is third in importance to the root and fifth, with the third in all primary triads (I, IV, V and i, iv, v) being either major or minor. In jazz chords and theory, the third is required due to it determining chord quality.

Extended chord

In music, extended chords are certain chords (built from thirds) or triads with notes extended, or added, beyond the seventh. Ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth chords are extended chords. The thirteenth is the farthest extension diatonically possible as, by that point, all seven tonal degrees are represented within the chord (the next extension, the fifteenth, is the same as the root of the chord). In practice however, extended chords do not typically use all the chord members; when it is not altered, the fifth is often omitted, as are notes between the seventh and the highest note (i.

Accord (musique)

En musique, un accord est un ensemble de notes considéré comme formant un tout du point de vue de l'harmonie. Le plus souvent, ces notes sont simultanées, superposées en un même moment ; mais les accords peuvent aussi s'exprimer par des notes successives, par exemple dans des arpèges. En harmonie tonale, le terme « accord » désigne une combinaison d'au moins trois notes simultanées (deux notes émises simultanément ne constituent pas un accord : il s'agit seulement d'un intervalle ; un accord est donc une superposition de plusieurs intervalles).
