But before I do so, permit me to refresh your mind on the concept of tertian harmony.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On The Tertian Harmony<\/h2>\n<p>The notes of a chord are related by class of harmony; which is concerned with the distance between the successive tones of a chord when played in root position.<\/p>\n<p>The C major triad consists of C, E, and G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=66FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which are related by a class of harmony known as the tertian harmony.<\/p>\n<h3>The Tertian Harmony &#8212; <em>Defined<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Using any given scale as a reference, tertian harmony is produced by a collection of tones (referred to as a chord) where the distance between successive chord tones is a third interval.<\/p>\n<p>The C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=66FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a product of the tertian harmony and this is because of the fixed third intervals between successive tones:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"
