The former is a <strong>second <\/strong>interval while the latter is a <strong>third <\/strong>interval.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C-D# (encompasses two alphabets: C and D)<\/p>\n<p>C-Eb (encompasses three alphabets: C, D, and E)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the formation of chords, the use of second intervals produces secundal harmony while the use of third intervals in the formation of chords produces tertian harmony.<\/p>\n<p>Following the traditional principles of chord formation, third intervals (and not second intervals) are used in chord formation. This explains why the minor third interval is commonly used.<\/p>\n<p>Summarily, minor third intervals differ in size from augmented second intervals and because augmented second intervals are second interval, they are NOT commonly used in chord formation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> To learn more about intervals, how they are applied in chord formation, and other important concepts, I recommend that you get our 500+ page course: The &#8220;Official Guide To Piano Playing.&#8221; If you&#8217;re interested,[thrive_2step id=&#8217;18141&#8242;]<span style=\"color: #0000ff\">click here to let us know.<\/span>[\/thrive_2step]<\/p>\n<h3>Difference #2 &#8211; <em>In Quality<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The augmented second interval and the minor third interval differ in quality:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The augmented second interval is an <strong>augmented interval.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The minor third interval is a <strong>minor interval.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Augmented intervals and minor intervals are two different interval types. Augmented intervals (when played or heard) have the tendency to move to a more stable interval or chord and this is because they don&#8217;t sound agreeable when played\/heard.<\/p>\n<p>Another classic example of an augmented interval is the augmented fourth interval (aka &#8211; &#8220;tritone&#8221;). The tritone has its special place in harmony because of its distinct harshness.<\/p>\n<p>Minor intervals are a lot more stable and are used in the formation of major, minor, dominant chords, etc.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;In Summary&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Intervals are the building blocks of chords. The difference between the augmented second and minor third intervals is in the application of intervals during chord formation.<\/p>\n<p>The triad below:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

not a minor chord because it doesn&#8217;t have a third tone.<\/p>\n<p>The chord above:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Ds,G,,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the C minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"
