11. ( help · info ) Major eleventh chord, Cmaj

In music theory, an eleventh chord is a chord that contains the tertian extension of the eleventh. Typically found in jazz, an eleventh chord also usually includes the seventh and ninth, and elements of the basic triad structure. Variants include the dominant eleventh (C11, C–E–G–B♭–D–F), minor eleventh (Cm11, C–E♭–G–B♭–D–F), and major eleventh chord (Cmaj11, C–E–G–B–D–F).[1] Using an augmented eleventh produces the dominant sharp eleventh (C9♯11, C–E–G–B♭–D–F♯) and major sharp eleventh (Cmaj9♯11, C–E–G–B–D–F♯) chords. [2] (C11 or C9sus4). ( help · info ) Dominant eleventh chord, with the third omitted – "as it appears in actual music"(Cor C). 11, with the third included. V11 in F major.[3] ( help · info ) Dominant eleventh chord, C, with the third included. Vin F major. A perfect eleventh creates a highly dissonant minor ninth interval with the major third of major and dominant chords. To reduce dissonance, the third is often omitted[4] (for instance 52 seconds into "Sun King" on The Beatles' Abbey Road in a dominant eleventh chord), turning the chord into a suspended ninth chord (e.g. C9sus4, C–G–B♭–D–F), which can be also notated as Gm7/C.[2] Another solution to this dissonance is altering the third or eleventh factor of the chord to turn the problematic minor ninth interval within the chord into a major ninth.[5] A dominant eleventh chord can be altered by lowering the third by a semitone for a minor eleventh chord, or by raising the eleventh by a semitone for a dominant sharp eleventh chord, implying the lydian dominant mode. As its upper extensions (7th, 9th, 11th) constitute a triad, a dominant eleventh chord with the third and fifth omitted can be notated as a compound chord with a bass note. So C–B♭–D–F is written as B♭/C, emphasizing the ambiguous dominant/subdominant character of this voicing. [6] ( help · info ) Voice leading for dominant eleventh chords in the common practice period. In the common practice period, the root, 7th, 9th, and 11th are the most common factors present in the V11 chord, with the 3rd and 5th typically omitted. The eleventh is usually retained as a common tone when the chord resolves to I or i.[6]

Relation to suspended fourth chord [ edit ]

The fourth degree is octave equivalent to the eleventh. The dominant eleventh chord could be alternatively notated as the very unorthodox ninth added fourth chord (C9add4), from where omitting the 3rd produces the more common ninth suspended fourth chord (C9sus4, also known as the jazz sus chord).

Which key is higher C or F?

On a C scale, the notes from low to high would be C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. But in a scale, some steps are larger than others. In a major scale, there are five whole steps and two half steps.

THE SCALE

A scale is like a staircase. In the major scale, there are eight notes going up the steps from bottom to top. These are the eight notes of the octave. On a C scale, the notes from low to high would be C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. But in a scale, some steps are larger than others. In a major scale, there are five whole steps and two half steps. These steps are shown more easily on a piano keyboard: a whole step is the distance between a white key and the next white key, providing there is a black key in between; and a half step is the distance between a white key and the nearest black key. Also, the distance between two white notes that have no black key between them. It is possible to raise or lower the pitch or highness of a note by a half tone. The “sharp” (#) raises the pitch by a half tone. C-sharp, for example, is a half tone higher than C. A flat (b) lowers the pitch by a half tone. D-flat would be a half tone lower than D, and would be the same sound as C-sharp.
