Subject: Chordal Quality From: at <mroyalJULIAN.UWO.CA> Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 15:23:00 -0400Dear List, in ear-training programs, music students are often called upon to identify the quality of individual chords, e.g., minor, major, diminished or augmented with plain triads, and major-minor7, minor-minor7 etc. for seventh chords. Does anybody know any perceptual research that examines the psychological distance between these chord types? I would be interested in either confusion matrices, measures of consonance/dissonance, multidimensional scaling studies, or anything else that might even be tangentially connected. Thanks in advance for any responses. I'll summarize them in a week or so.
