![]() Ignoring intervals and focusing on sound alone, what do you hear? Visualise it on a keyboard: To clear up for the 2 down votes and phoog's comment: Since you can't make a Major interval from 3 semitones the answer HAS to be Minor as no starting note can produce a Major interval. If this really is a real exam question, the question is asking specifically for Minor or Major and not: perfect, augmented or diminished. These are all the same note, and sound the same but at different intervals. We know that 3 semitones from C going up can be: Giving it a 3rd note, another 3 semitone above Eb would give C, Eb, Gb is a Diminished sound.Īs you can see, there are equivalents for these semitones. However, we only hear them as pairs of 2. If starting on A, 3 semitones down would be F# giving the sound of a Major interval if we add a D below. This would give the sound of a minor interval if we add a G above. If starting on C imaging a piano keyboard, going up 3 semitones would be Eb. Major and minor are measured in intervals not tones so this can be hard to describe properly.
