of course i understand what you say it's true from a musical syntax standpoint. but from a more acoustical approach, it might be seen as consonance/dissonance is a 'degree' property. so any interval or chord (meaning any simultaneity) have a certain degree of consonance/dissonance. indeed, the same interval or chord depends on timbre, dynamics, and register (i'm not sure this is the proper word, maybe tessitura? range?). just imagine the 'rite of spring' most famous chords being played by a treble recorder consort. or just the e major chord notes by trombones, and the eb7 notes by pizz. strings. please excuse my fuzzy wording, regards, marcelo > But if there's no dissonance, there's also no consonance. > > You can't change the definition of one without altering the > definition of the other, as they are simply two sides of the same > coin. > > -- > David W.
