Tritones are intervals consisting of three tones. They come in two types: augmented fourth (aug4) and diminished fifth (df5). Tritones are sharp-sounding dissonant intervals. They sound the same, but are written differently. Aug4 has 4 steps, and df5 has 5. Tritones can be formed in natural and harmonic modes and built on certain steps in a tonality. Aug4 in a minor key is built on steps 4 and 6. Df5 in a minor key is built on steps 7 (elevated) and 2. Tritones consist of unstable sounds and therefore must resolve. An augmented fourth (aug4) resolves into a sixth (the sounds diverge to the nearest stable steps) A diminished fifth (diminished fifth) resolves into a third (the sounds converge to the nearest stable steps) How to construct a tritone from a sound and resolve it? It's simple: 1. Construct a tritone from a given note according to the interval composition. Count 3 tones and 4(5) steps 2. Imagine the base (lower note) as a step in a certain key. For an augmented fourth: IV in natural major IV in harmonic minor VI ь in harmonic major VI in natural minor For a diminished fifth: VII in natural major VII# in harmonic minor II in harmonic major II in natural minor 3. Resolve the tritone into the resulting key, taking into account the key signatures
