(<strong>Jermaine Griggs<\/strong>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;the tritone is an interval. The tritone is considered an interval because it is also a product of the relationship between two notes.<\/p>\n<p>The tritone C-F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Fs,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is bigger than C-F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,F,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;(a perfect fourth interval) by a half step.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, making a perfect fourth interval bigger by a half step produces the tritone (an augmented fourth interval). A study on perfect intervals has shown that they lose their stability when they are made bigger (augmented) or smaller (diminished).<\/p>\n<p>The inversion of the tritone produces an inverted tritone. For example, the inversion of C-F# (a tritone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Fs,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces F#-C (an inverted tritone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,C&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA tritone and an inverted tritone look identical because they encompass six half steps each. However, intervals change in size and quality when inverted. The tritone (C-F#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Fs,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is an augmented fourth interval, while the inverted tritone (F#-C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,C&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a diminished fifth interval.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, the tritone has two intervallic structures &#8211; the augmented fourth and the diminished fifth structures. Also take note that augmented and diminished intervals are dissonant and the tritone (which is an augmented fourth\/diminished fifth interval), is no exception.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s The Tritone In All Twelve Keys&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>C tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Fs,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nDb tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,G,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nD tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,Gs,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEb tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,A,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,As,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,B,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nGb tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,C&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,Cs&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAb tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,D&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,Ds&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBb tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,E&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nB tritone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,Es&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Resolution Of The Tritone By <em>Pulling It Out<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The tritone is a harsh and unstable interval that has the tendency to move to a more stable interval when played.
