Talk:False relation

False relations of the tritone
The French page mentions false relations of the tritone. Is this terminology used in English? Rigadoun (talk) 18:54, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Good point, it is indeed - I've added a sentence on it, and at some point will get a diagram like the one on the French page.

There is a real problem here. It asserts "chromatic alterations should occur for melodic reasons". Lacking in context, 'should'. No, there are cases where it really shouldn't occur, it could happen just out of ineptness. It isn't "a rule". This mars the article badly. Jan civil (talk) 16:30, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

The F# in the bass briefly coincides with the G in melody, before resolving to a G.

I think it would be a good idea to include this in the article, perhaps even with a short audio clip. But first we'd need to find a source. Be on the lookout for one. — trlkly 06:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
