1sonant intervals, and which, on account of its unsatisfying and disquieting effect, requires to be resolved into a consonant chord. (V. Introduction.) The foregoing are the uses of this term, as popularly employed. Properly speaking, however, discord is an unmusical, inharmonious effect, which may go far beyond the limits of the permissible. Any inharmonious combination. A Dissonance is a discordant combination musically employed. Inasmuch as consonance depends upon appreciable relations between the tones so related, dissonance and discord depend upon the clashing of vibrations and the inability of the ear to find a common measure or principle of unity. These clashings take place in dissonance (q. v.), but the manner in which a dissonance is used suggests to the ear the resolution, the later entrance of the concordant tone which the dissonance had temporarily displaced.

42Dissonance. The inharmonious relation of tones. (See Discord.) Strictly speaking, dissonance is the musical employment of discord. All harmonic combinations are dissonant in greater or less degree, except the unison, octave, major and minor thirds and sixths, the perfect fifth, and harmonic seventh. All dissonances are employed as temporary substitutes for consonants, in order to render the harmonic motion more emphatic and appealing.

Most dissonances are either Suspensions, held over out of a previous chord, Appoggiaturas, struck free upon the beat but resolved upon the half beat, Passing tones, introduced in passing by degrees from one chord tone to another, or Changing tones, where a voice skips off to a dissonant tone and immediately returns.
