Everyone knows
what music is . First of all, this is harmony, that is, harmony, orderliness and consistency of sound. But it is impossible to get music by pressing which keys of the piano. Like in a joke:
- Do you know how to play the violin?
- I do not know, I have not tried it. Maybe I can.
Sounds funny, right? And indeed, to create music, you first need a fret. Where to look for him? In the relationship between sounds of different heights! Only then will the necessary consent and harmony be obtained.
Degrees of fret
Drink softly the melody of any well-known music (it’s not so important if it’s a children's song, a modern dance, a military march or a theme from some famous symphony). Try to stay in one place, then in another. It will be immediately clear that in some places it is simply impossible to finish a musical thought. Not at all because the words of the song did not end or the movement of the dance was not completed.
The sounds themselves do not give rest, because some of them are stable, while others are unstable and push the music with all their strength, they stand on one leg, and some even tiptoe. When sounds of different heights combine and line up, as if in height, one after another, a fret is obtained. Sounding bright, sunny major. This is if you play all the keys in a row from one note "to" to "to" the next. Remember how it sounds and mark two semitones. It turns out the note "C major". This is the only major that does not require black keys. And if you play from “la” to the next “la” - you get a minor fret, more “dark” in sound, like rainy weather. The first sound (first step) of the fret is the tonic. Here, most often, the
musical phrase begins and ends
. He is the most stable. The third and fifth steps help him - also stable. All three together - the tonic triad, the pillar of music, its "home" with the hostess-tonic at the head. The remaining steps are unstable. Two of them - fluctuate simply to an extreme degree. This is the second and seventh. They surround the tonic and with all their might reach for it along with the melody, resolving (that is, dissolving and calming down) only in it.
Major fret structure
Major is a fret, translated from Latin as "big" or "big". Gamma is constructed as follows: two tones plus a semitone, then three tones plus a semitone. Check by playing the scale in C major - it matches for sure. But if you try to play the same gamma on the white keys from the note “re” to “re”? Will it be D major? No? And if you count by the tones, you will get only the sounds of the “fa” note, and you will have to increase the “do” by half a tone. D major is played with two sharps. In the same way, you can build major scales from any note. Practice it? For example, gamma in A major. Between the notes “la” and “si” - certainly a tone, but between the “si” and “do” - a semitone (but we need a tone, so we raise it, it turns out “sharp”), then from “do- the sharp “to the note“ re ”is a semitone, and rightly so, between the notes“ re ”and“ mi ”is the tone we need, but from the note“ mi ”to the note“ fa ”it is again a semitone. Again, we need a tone, which means that there will be a “f-sharp”, and again between the notes “f-sharp” and “salt” - it turned out a semitone, not a tone, so we play “G-sharp”, and finally we need a semitone between "G sharp" and "la" - it is, a semitone, and this is already right. So, “A major” is a key with three characters in the key: the first character is always “F sharp”, the second “C sharp” and the third “G sharp”. Any particular melody and whole musical composition is always based on this or that way, which organizes the pitch of sounds, giving the music harmony, that is, harmony and purity of sound.
