What is just intonation in music?

A scale in which notes are chosen to give exact intervals. Such scales cannot be transposed to a different key. The diatonic scale is just. In just intonation, the diatonic scale (as well as other scales) work differently for different starting notes, leading to the concept of the key. For example, music written in just intonation would have to be re-written if the scale were shifted in starting note in order to preserve consonance.


How do you characterize a diatonic triad?

A diatonic triad is a three-note chord formed by stacking two thirds on top of a root note, using only the notes from a specific scale or key. Each triad corresponds to a degree of the scale, and the triads can be major, minor, diminished, or augmented, depending on the intervals between the notes. In Western music, diatonic triads are fundamental to harmony and are commonly used in chord progressions. They help establish the tonal center and define the character of a piece of music.
