What are Enharmonically related intervals?
"Enharmonic intervals are intervals with the same sound that are spelled differently… [resulting], of course, from enharmonic tones." Prior to this modern meaning, "enharmonic" referred to notes that were very close in pitch—closer than the smallest step of a diatonic scale—but not identical in pitch.
Which interval is enharmonically equivalent to a m6?
In 12-tone equal temperament (12-ET), the minor sixth is enharmonically equivalent to the augmented fifth. It occurs in first inversion major and dominant seventh chords and second inversion minor chords. It is equal to eight semitones, i.e. a ratio of 28/12:1 or simplified to 22/3:1 (about 1.587), or 800 cents.
What is an interval enharmonically equivalent to an augmented 4th?
Intervals Enharmonic spellings can be used to indicate different names for the same interval. Because the F# and Gb are enharmonic spellings of the same tone (in the example above), the interval of the augmented 4th is audibly no different from that of a diminished 5th.
What is an interval enharmonically equivalent to a diminished 7th?
Since a diminished seventh is enharmonically equivalent to a major sixth, the chord is enharmonically equivalent to (1, ♭3, ♭5, ♮6). The diminished seventh chord occurs as a leading-tone seventh chord in the harmonic minor scale.
