in common and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll show you in the next segment.<\/p>\n<h2>The Relationship Between The <em>Flat-Third<\/em> And The <em>Sharp-Second<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The flat-third and sharp-second are related in many ways and in this segment I&#8217;ll be showing you the similarities and differences between them.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the similarities.<\/p>\n<h3>The Similarities Between The <em>Flat-Third<\/em> And The <em>Sharp-Second<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>If your eyes are closed and someone plays the sharp-second, it&#8217;s possible to <em>erroneously<\/em> perceive it as the flat-third and this is because of the enharmonic equivalence between D# (the sharp-second) and Eb (the flat third):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>D#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ds,&amp;color=99FF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,,&amp;color=99FF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With your eyes closed or open, you can&#8217;t tell the difference between D# and Eb (notes) until they are spelled.<\/p>\n<p>So, in the C minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=99FF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;where you have the minor third interval (C-Eb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,,&amp;color=99FF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIf you replace the Eb with D#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ds,&amp;color=99FF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you&#8217;ll have C-D#-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Ds,G,,&amp;color=99FF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which would sound just like the C minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=99FF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;but that would be a wrong spelling of the chord.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, the flat-third sounds like the sharp-second.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s Another Similarity&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Between the first tone and either of the flat-third or sharp-second consists of three half-steps each.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C to Eb (a flat-third):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,,&amp;color=99FF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of three half-steps.<\/p>\n<p>C to D# (a sharp-second):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Ds,,&amp;color=99FF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of three half-steps.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, it doesn&#8217;t matter whether you&#8217;re playing the flat-third or the flat-second, each of them are three half steps from the first tone.<\/p>\n<h3>The Differences Between The <em>Flat-Third<\/em> And The <em>Sharp-Second<\/em><\/h3>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to understand
