We've made a new Spotify Playlist for you! This time we take a look at the minor second interval.
We've been looking at many intervals in the previous playlists. They were all perfect or major. This is the first time that we look at a minor interval. The minor second has the smallest tonedifference, consisting of one semitone. To identify the minor second you should count two naturals, and one semitone. An example of a minor secund is the interval between C# and D.
For the playlist we selected ten songs with a minor second interval in them. By this we mean a melodic, ascending interval. We will explain briefly where you can hear the minor second interval in the songs.
You can hear the minor second directly at the start of the song, precisely on the phrase "It's been a". This characteristic half-tone interval gives the introduction a unique tension that immediately captures the listener's attention and is typical of the Beatles' musical innovation. The subtle use of this dissonant interval creates an atmosphere of restlessness and energy that perfectly matches the title and mood of the track.
The song starts with Don't-know, which is a minor second interval.
