	Minor second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A minor second is the smallest of three commonly occuring musical intervals that span two diatonic scale degrees; the others being the major second and the augmented second, which are larger by one and two semitones respectively.
		The minor second is abbreviated as m2 and its inversion is the major seventh.
		A minor second in just intonation most often corresponds to a pitch ratio of 16/15 or 1:1.0666, or various other ratios, while in an equal tempered tuning a minor second is equal to one semitone, and is a ratio of 1:2

	CGR: Playing Keyboard
		A minor scale is a series of eight notes (one of which is actually a duplicate of the first note) with the intervallic pattern between each successive note being whole step/major second, half step/minor second, whole step/major second, whole step/major second, half step/minor second, whole step/major second, whole step/major second.
		The second form is called the harmonic minor scale and is derived by changing the final intervallic distance (the one between the seventh and eighth scale degrees) to a half step/minor second.
		A minor chord consists of a root note, a note that is a minor third above that, and a note that is a perfect fifth above the root / or a major third above the second note of the chord.

		The second movement, in f# minor, shares an idee fixe with the 11th symphony and the (much later) 12th quartet (their first movement and finale, respectively.) The transition to the trio section of this movement is especially fraught.
		The second movement is a scherzo in a minor and has been transcribed for piano solo (in which form it has been recorded.) The third movement, in f# minor, is expressive.
		A melancholic slow movement in e-flat minor with an obstinate middle section and overall a-b-a form (and a reference to the middle-section at the end) is followed by a finale, opening aggressively with slashing chords in g minor, ending there.

		The next larger intervals are a minor second, a major second, a minor third, a major third and so on.
		(A "tone" is the size of a major second, and a "semitone" that of a minor second.) Alternatively, the interval of the tritone may be called an augmented fourth or a diminished fifth, depending on the musical context.
		If the interval of a minor second were enlarged by an octave, it would become a minor ninth, the major second would become a major ninth, the minor third a minor tenth and so on.

	Sonic Glossary: Second
		The major second is still dissonant when played simultaneously [Example 5], but the dissonance is not quite so intense as that of the minor second.
		There are two other kinds of second: the diminished second, which sounds the same as a unison; and the augmented second, which sounds the same as a minor third.
		Note: Having learned about the second, you may want also to consult the definition of the Seventh, since the seventh is closely related to the second (they are in fact the inverse of one another), and the two behave quite similarly.

		Pitch is determined by the frequency of the vibration, measured in cycles per second; intensity (or loudness) is determined by the amplitude, measured in decibels.
		Quality is determined by the overtones (see harmonic), the distinctive timbre of any instrument being the result of the number and relative prominence of the overtones it produces.
		The term whole tone or whole step refers to the interval of a major second or its equivalent; the term half tone, semitone, or half step denotes a minor second (see scale).
