A tritone interval by itself (only 2 notes sounding) sounds quite dissonant to me. But in the context of the dominant 7th chord, the only note dissonant with the bass is the 7th. The tritone itself is not so prominent since it occurs betwe

The drawing looks like a circle of half steps, not a circle of fifths. It seems that the article would be clearer if the 180 degree rotation were to put F# at the top of the drawing.

I have a Macbook Pro early 2008 running Debian Bullseye. It took a bit of research to be able to boot from a legacy partition (grub-pc plays a role after installing in EFI mode). Also, thanks to a boot parameter setting (init_on_alloc=0)

> Why is it called an octave when it has 7 named notes? I think it's because of 1-based numbering. Two identical pitches are called a "unison".

I recently moved my home systems from Ubuntu to Debian because Ubuntu dropped 32-bit support (I have a mix of 64 and 32-bit and wanted to keep them on the same OS). The installer didn't work on my oldest laptop from 2003 with a new mS
