Best Answer

You may be asking about open fifths. A fifth is a do-sol interval, like C-G. If there is an E in between, it's a major chord. If there is an E flat in between, it's a minor chord. Without a note in the middle, you don't know if the music is in major or minor. Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, the "Choral," famously begins with an open fifth, so you can't tell if it's in D Major or D Minor.
