[D66] Major Majorano: De verdwijning van het majeur slotakkooord

[René Oudeweg]

[Vroeg me af of er een toonsoort is waar geen majeure akkoorden zijn... 
Ja dus: Hele-toonschaal (Major Majorano). Typisch iets voor 'D66', lees 
zesnotige toonsoort, niet? Het septiem interval (C-B) schijnt de naarste 
klank te hebben omdat er geen bekende Nederlandse meolodie is die begint 
met het septiem interval volgens een solfege specialist op Youtube. /RO]

Yes, there are scales in which there are no major chords. One example is 
the whole tone scale.

Whole Tone Scale

The whole tone scale is a six-note scale where each note is separated by 
a whole step (or tone). For example, the C whole tone scale consists of:

     C, D, E, F#, G#, A#

Chords in the Whole Tone Scale

Due to the nature of the whole tone scale:

     The intervals between the notes do not allow for the formation of 
traditional major or minor chords, as there is no perfect fifth interval 
necessary for constructing these chords.
     Instead, the chords built from the whole tone scale tend to be 
augmented triads (e.g., C augmented: C, E, G#).

Because of this unique structure, no traditional major chords can be 
formed from the notes within a whole tone scale. The scale is often used 
to create a sense of ambiguity and is common in impressionistic music.
