A minor sixth is the smaller of two commonly occurring musical intervals that span six diatonic scale degrees. In Music theory, the word inversion has several meanings There are inverted chords, inverted melodies, inverted intervals, and A major third ( is one of two commonly occurring Musical intervals that span three Diatonic scale degrees the other being the Minor third. A semitone, also called a half step or a half tone, is the smallest Musical interval commonly used in Western tonal music and it is considered the In Musical set theory, an interval class (usual abbreviation ic) is the shortest distance in Pitch class space between two unordered Pitch classes In music just intonation is any Musical tuning in which the frequencies of Notes are related by Ratios of Whole numbers Any interval The cent is a logarithmic unit of measure used for musical intervals. Equal temperament is a Musical temperament, or a system of tuning in which every pair of adjacent notes has an identical Frequency ratio. In music just intonation is any Musical tuning in which the frequencies of Notes are related by Ratios of Whole numbers Any interval In Music theory, the term interval describes the relationship between the pitches of two Notes Intervals may be described as vertical In Music theory, a diatonic scale (from the Greek διατονικος, meaning " through tones" also known as the heptatonia prima and The prefix 'minor' identifies it as being the smaller of the two (by a chromatic semitone); its larger counterpart being a major sixth. A semitone, also called a half step or a half tone, is the smallest Musical interval commonly used in Western tonal music and it is considered the A major sixth ( is the larger of two commonly occurring Musical intervals that span six Diatonic scale degrees The minor 6th is abbreviated as m6, its inversion is the major third and in equal temperament is enharmonically equivalent to the augmented fifth. In Music theory, the word inversion has several meanings There are inverted chords, inverted melodies, inverted intervals, and A major third ( is one of two commonly occurring Musical intervals that span three Diatonic scale degrees the other being the Minor third. In modern Music and notation, an enharmonic equivalent is a Note ( enharmonic tone) interval ( enharmonic interval) or An augmented fifth ( is a Musical interval that spans five scale degrees and consists of eight semitones Its most common occurrence is between the third and (upper) root of major chords. In Music the root ( basse fouhuhuhe) of a chord is the note or pitch upon which that chord is perceived or labelled as being built In Music theory, a major chord ( is a chord having a root, a Major third, and a Perfect fifth.

Of all the intervals, the minor 6th is the most difficult to identify by ear. [1]

A minor sixth in just intonation most often corresponds to a pitch ratio of 8:5 or 1:1. In music just intonation is any Musical tuning in which the frequencies of Notes are related by Ratios of Whole numbers Any interval 6, or various other ratios, while in an equal tempered tuning, a minor sixth is equal to eight semitones, a ratio of 1:2^8/12 (approximately 1. Equal temperament is a Musical temperament, or a system of tuning in which every pair of adjacent notes has an identical Frequency ratio. A semitone, also called a half step or a half tone, is the smallest Musical interval commonly used in Western tonal music and it is considered the 587), or 800 cents, 13. The cent is a logarithmic unit of measure used for musical intervals. 686 cents smaller. The ratios of both major and minor sixths are corresponding numbers of the Fibonacci sequence, 5 and 8 for a minor sixth and 3 and 5 for a major. In Mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers are a Sequence of numbers named after Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci

The minor sixth is one of consonances of common practice music, along with the unison, octave, perfect fifth, major and minor thirds, major sixth and (sometimes) the perfect fourth. The common practice period, in the history of European Art music (broadly called Classical music) spanning the Baroque, Classical, and In Music, a unison () is an interval, the ratio of 11 or 0 half steps and zero cents. In Music, an octave ( is the the use of which is "common in most musical systems The perfect fifth ( is the Musical interval between a note and the note seven Semitones above it on the musical scale A major sixth ( is the larger of two commonly occurring Musical intervals that span six Diatonic scale degrees The perfect fourth () is a Musical interval which spans four scale degrees In the common practice period, sixths were considered interesting and dynamic consonances along with their inverses the thirds, but in medieval times they were considered dissonances unusable in a stable final sonority; however it should be noted that in that period they were tuned very flat, to the Pythagorean minor sixth of 128/81. The term medieval music encompasses European music written during the Middle Ages. Pythagorean tuning is a system of Musical tuning in which the Frequency relationships of all intervals are based on the ratio 32. In just intonation, the minor sixth is classed as a consonance of the 5-limit. In music just intonation is any Musical tuning in which the frequencies of Notes are related by Ratios of Whole numbers Any interval In music theory limit can refer to a variety of methods used to characterize the harmonies found in a piece of music genre of music or by extension the harmonies that can be made with
