The Cycle of 4ths and 5ths
Chromatic Scale arranged in 5ths
Joe Harris
C is the 5th of F - F is the 5th of Bb - etc.
Equal division of an Octive in Half = TtiTone or # 4ths ( Tritone of C is F# - Tritone of F# is C ) etc.
14
Equal division of an Octive into 3 equal parts = Augmented Chord. There are only 3 Aug. Patterns.
20 Caug C♯aug Daug D♯aug
Equal division of an Octive into 4 equal parts = Diminished Chord. There are only 3 Dim. Patterns.
24 Cdim C♯dim Ddim
Note: 2 TriTones a minor 3rd apart will form a Diminished Chord
Ex. C F# and Eb A = C Eb F# A
