The major is a smug with a smile

Everyone knows about what music is . First of all, it is harmony, that is, harmony, orderliness and consistency of sound. But it is impossible to get music by clicking on which keys the piano will have. As in an anecdote:

"Do you know how to play the violin?"

- I do not know, I have not tried it. Maybe I can.

It sounds funny, does not it? And really, to create music, first of all you need a harmony. Where to look for it? In the interrelations between the sounds of different heights! Only then will the necessary harmony and harmony be obtained.

The steps of the frets

Sing quietly the melody of any well-known music (not so important, a children's song is a modern dance, a military march or a theme from some famous symphony). Try to stop somewhere in one place, then in another. It will immediately be clear that in some places it is simply impossible to finish a musical idea. Not at all because the words of the song did not end or the dance movement was not finished. The sounds do not give you peace, because some of them are stable, while others are unstable and drive the music as hard as they can, they stand on one leg and some on tiptoe. When the different sounds are combined and aligned as if by growth - one after another, it turns out. Sounding light, 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 note 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 will get a minor key, more "dark" in sound, like rainy weather. The first sound (the first step) of the harmony is the tonic. Here the musical phrase begins and ends most often. He is the most stable. The third and fifth steps help him, too, are stable. All three together are a tonic triad, a pivot of music, her "home" with a mistress-tonic at the head. The remaining steps are unstable. Two of them - fluctuate just to the extreme. This is the second and the seventh. They surround the tonic and go all the way to it with the melody, resolving (that is, dissolving and calming down) only in it.

Structure of the major mode

The major is a harmony, in Latin from "big" or "bigger". Gamma is built like this: two tones plus a semitone, then three tones plus a semitone. Check by playing the gamma in C major - this is exactly the same. But if you try to play the same on the white keys gamma from the note "re" to "re"? Will it be "D-major"? No? And if you count on the tones, you get only the sounds of the note "fa", and "to" will have to be increased by a half. "D-major" is played with two sharps. In the same way, you can create major scales from any note. Practice? For example, gamma "A-major". Between the notes "la" and "si" is definitely a tone, but between "si" and "to" is a semitone (but we need a tone, that means - we raise, it turns out "before-sharp"), then from " Sharp "to the note" re "is semitone, and this is correct, between the notes" re "and" mi "- the tone we want, but from the note" mi "to the note" fa "- again a semitone. Again, we need a tone, so it will be a "F-sharp", and again between the notes "F-sharp" and "salt" - turned out semitone, not the tone, then we'll play "salt sharp", and finally need a semitone Between "salt sharp" and "la" - so it is, a semitone, and that's right. Hence, "A major" - a key with three characters at the key: the first sign is always "F-sharp", the second is "before-sharp" and the third is "sharp-sharp". At the heart of any single melody and the whole musical composition there is always one or another mode that organizes the pitch of the sounds, giving the music harmony, that is, harmony and purity of sound.
