How far apart do two tones need to be before they sound consonant instead of dissonant?
A minor third (two tones 4 semitones apart) is the smallest interval that will sound consonant rather than dissonant; however, it is not so much the distance between the notes that makes it sound dissonant, it is more the relationship of the interval to the tonic chord (the key your piece is in.)
What is an interval music?
In music theory, an interval is the difference between two pitches. An interval may be described as horizontal, linear, or melodic if it refers to successively sounding tones, such as two adjacent pitches in a melody, and vertical or harmonic if it pertains to simultaneously sounding tones, such as in a chord.
