Consonant Intervals
Consonant intervals are combinations of two musical notes that sound harmonious when played together. These intervals are typically characterized by their pleasant and stable sound, making them essential in music theory. Common examples of consonant intervals include the perfect fifth, major third, and minor third.
In contrast to dissonant intervals, which create tension and a sense of instability, consonant intervals provide a sense of resolution and rest. Musicians often use these intervals to build chords and melodies, forming the foundation of many musical compositions across various genres.
