		The Third in the Diminished and Augmented Triads
		The third is the element in the triad that determines whether the triad itself is major or minor, diminished or augmented.
		Note: Having learned about the third, you may want also to consult the definition of the Sixth, since the sixth is closely related to the third (they are in fact the inverse of one another), and the two behave quite similarly.

		Thirdly, the chord is not an A major chord because it is built on the A major scale or because it is in the key of A; it is an A major chord because of the intervallic pattern between each chord member.
		A major triad is composed of a major third and a perfect 5th; a minor triad is composed of a minor third and a perfect 5th.
		So, for example, a C major triad is made up of the notes C-E-G because (1) C is the root; and (2) the interval between C and E is a major 3rd; and (3) the interval between a C and a G is a perfect 5th.
