I figured that someone else may have already had that idea, and sure enough, I found a "Listen to Musical Intervals" page on the Musical Intervals Tutor site. You can listen to the intervals at http://www.musicalintervalstutor.info/listenpg.html I hope you enjoy it. Clublime, your idea of being able to listen to the intervals really appealed to me.

Three tones is six semitones, and I had put it in the table under five semitones. Your comment prompted me to do a bit of reading about the tritone, and I discovered that in the Middle Ages this interval was known as "the devil in music", and was absolutely prohibited from being used in melodies. Amazing! Hi Ben, you’re absolutely correct about the tritone. Three tones is six semitones, and I had put it in the table under five semitones.

One tiny issue: I think you'll find that a "tritone" is an aug4 or flat5, not a P4th. The term also (and in some cases more commonly) applies to a triadic combination of two sets of 6 semitone intervals played together, making a diminished triad. Otherwise, great work! I'm sure it will be useful. Good helpful look at intervals!

Thanks for your comments and your feedback. :-) I agree that the article became very theoretical - it seemed to have a mind of its own! I'm not aiming to do any more like that, but a minority of people do seem to enjoy that type of article. I appreciate your suggestion about including sound clips. I hadn't thought of doing that, and it would have been helpful. Hi Clublime. Thanks for your comments and your feedback. :-)

I think it would help if you insert sound clip examples in your flavor listing instead of providing a link to Joels' article, as this is all VERY theoretical. ;-) Hi Adrian, great article.
