Real Note

In Music, and more precisely in tonal harmony, a real note - or constitutive note - is a note pertaining to the “superposition of thirds” of a agreement classified. The concept of real note is thus opposed to that foreign Note - the latter being added or substituent to the one of the real notes of the agreement.

For example, C, semi, ground, if and D , are the real notes of the Accord of five notes having C for Fondamentale.

Fundamental

The Fondamentale is the generating note of a agreement. It gives its name to the agreement in question and each other real note is indicated by the figure of the ascending interval which separates this note from the fundamental one: the third , the fifth, the seventh, etc

Example: in the Accord of five notes “ C, semi, ground, if, D ”, the fundamental one is C .

Third

The “third of an agreement” is the real note located a third above fundamental this agreement.

Example: in the Accord of five notes “ C, semi, ground, if, D ”, the third is semi .

  • the interval between the third and the fundamental one of an agreement is either a third major, or a minor third .

Fifth

The “ fifth of an agreement” is the real note located a fifth above fundamental this agreement.

Example: in the Accord of five notes “ C, semi, ground, if, D ”, the fifth is ground .

  • the interval between the fifth and the fundamental one of an agreement is generally a perfect fifth. This one can however be transformed into increased fifth or into decreased fifth. For more information on this question, to consult the article Inflected chord.

Seventh

The “ seventh of an agreement” is the real note located a seventh above fundamental this agreement.

Example: in the Accord of five notes “ C, semi, ground, if, D ”, seventh is if .

  • the interval between the seventh and the fundamental one of an agreement is either a seventh major, or a seventh minor. The decreased seventh is not a harmonic interval as from the fundamental one, but as from the sensitive - third of the agreements of Dominante.

Ninth

The “ ninth of an agreement” is the real note located a ninth above fundamental this agreement.

Example: in the Accord of five notes “ C, semi, ground, if, D ”, ninth is D .

  • the interval between the ninth and the fundamental one of an agreement is either a ninth major, or a ninth minor.
