Using the key of C major (as a reference):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the smallest ninth intervals are the minor ninth and major ninth:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C-Db (minor ninth):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,Db,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC-D (major ninth):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,D,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and both intervals are bigger than the octave (C-C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><em>&#8220;Can I Tell You Why Compound Intervals Cannot Be Inverted?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Due to the relationship between the concept of inversion and the octave, only intervals that are smaller than or equal to the octave can be inverted.<\/p>\n<p>When a given interval is inverted, the given interval and the inversion produce the octave when put together.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if it were possible to add the ninth interval with another interval to produce an octave, then it would have been possible to invert a ninth interval. Meanwhile a compound interval (like the ninth) is bigger than the octave itself.<\/p>\n<p>So, compound intervals like the ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth cannot be inverted because they exceed the compass of an octave.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Word<\/h2>\n<p>One of the significant differences between simple and compound intervals is inversion.<\/p>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s safe to say that simple intervals are intervals that can be inverted while compound intervals are intervals that cannot be inverted.<\/p>\n<p>In a subsequent lesson, we&#8217;ll explore two classes of compound intervals and what you need to know about them while studying harmony.<\/p>\n<p>See you then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this lesson, you&#8217;ll find out the reason why
