hi!
im confused here, i hear the words dissonance and consonance all the time but i don't know what they mean. can someone clarify?
Hiya,
Put simply:
Consonance - two or more notes that create harmony or a chord when played together. For example - D, F# and A to create a chord of D Major.
Dissonance - two sounds that do not make harmony and need to be resolved. For example - D, F# and G which is a chord of Gsus4. The F# and the G are only a semitone apart so they clash, and this chord needs to resolve to a normal D Major chord.
Hope this helps.
Best,
A :-)
