Examples of dissonance in the following topics:
-
- Or they may simply feel "unstable"; if you hear a chord with a dissonance in it, you may feel that the music is pulling you towards the chord that resolves the dissonance.
- This discussion only covers consonance and dissonance in Western music.
- Consonance and dissonance refer to intervals and chords.
- Moving from a dissonance to the consonance that is expected to follow it is called resolution, or resolving the dissonance.
- Why are some note combinations consonant and some dissonant?
-
- The primary contextual tendency for how melodic notes progress is the concept of functional dissonance.
- Following are the scale degrees which act as dissonances for their respective functions:
- Keep in mind that only sometimes do these functional dissonances express themselves in chords or intervals that are acoustically dissonant.
- Thus, though they are proper members of the chord, melodically they will look like one of the three dissonance types of species counterpoint: a passing tone or neighbor tone dissonance that is approached by step, or a suspension dissonance that is approached by a common tone.
- Functional dissonance resolutions often cause conflicts with other principles of voice leading.
-
- When ti is a functional dissonance of a tonic-functioning chord (see below) it should progress down by step.
- Following are the scale degrees which act as dissonances for their respective functions:
- In strict keyboard style, these functional dissonances should behave like one of the three dissonance types of species counterpoint: a passing tone or neighbor tone dissonance that is approached by step, or a suspension dissonance that is approached by a common tone.
- Once a dissonance appears in the melody or bass, it tends to resolve in that voice. )
- Functional dissonance resolutions often cause conflicts with other principles of voice leading.
-
- Of particular interest is the role of cognitive dissonance on motivation.
- The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance in their cognitions by either changing or justifying their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.
- Another application of cognitive dissonance occurs in the case of effort justification.
- Dissonance is aroused whenever individuals voluntarily engage in an unpleasant activity to achieve some desired goal; this dissonance can be reduced by exaggerating the desirability of the goal.
- Smoking commonly causes cognitive dissonance.
-
- Because the inclusion of dissonance in a musical texture creates new musical problems that need to be addressed, second species introduces dissonance in a very limited way.
- Since harmonic dissonances can appear on weak beats, a mixture of consonant and dissonant intervals on weak beats is the best way to promote variety.
- Any weak-beat dissonance must follow the pattern of the dissonant passing tone, explained below.
- All dissonant weak beats in second species are dissonant passing tones, so called because the counterpoint line passes from one consonant downbeat to another consonant downbeat by stepwise motion.
- Since all dissonances in second species are passing tones, you will never leap into or out of a dissonant tone, nor will you change directions on a dissonant tone, nor will any dissonances occur on a downbeat.
-
- An example of cognitive dissonance is when a customer might feel compelled to question whether he has made the right purchase decision.
- Cognitive dissonance, another form of buyer's remorse, is common at this stage.
- This approach could help influence or alleviate feelings of cognitive dissonance or "buyer's remorse" following a product purchase.
-
- Note that the fa in the D2 passing chord (a functional dissonance) of the second example does not resolve down to mi.
- Note here that, like the fa in the D2 voice exchange, the fa in the melody is an unresolved functional dissonance.
- In this case, the voice leading once again is so smooth that it overrides the need for the functional dissonance to resolve.
- This fulfills its role as a tendency tone, helps the "deception" to work, and avoids the dissonant augmented second ti–le in minor.
- When ti–do appears in the melody of an authentic cadence involving V7, it is impossible to fully voice both chords and resolve the functional dissonance.
-
- This 2:1 rhythmic ratio leads to two new key features that must be considered—one metric and one harmonic: the differentiation between strong beats and weak beats, and the introduction of the passing tone dissonance.
- Weak beats should exhibit a mixture of consonant and dissonant intervals.
- Any dissonance must follow the pattern of the dissonant passing tone, explained below.
- All dissonant weak beats must be dissonant passing tones, so called because the counterpoint line passes from one consonant downbeat to another consonant downbeat by stepwise motion.
- A consonant passing tone outlines a third from downbeat to downbeat, and has the same pattern as the dissonant passing tone, except that all three tones (downbeat, passing tone, downbeat) are consonant with the cantus.

- According to Festinger, we hold many cognitions about the world and ourselves; when they clash, a discrepancy is evoked, resulting in a state of tension known as cognitive dissonance.
- Since the experience of dissonance is unpleasant, we are motivated to reduce or eliminate it and achieve consonance (agreement).
- When we experience cognitive dissonance, we are motivated to decrease it because it is psychologically, physically, and mentally uncomfortable.
- We can reduce cognitive dissonance by bringing our cognitions, attitudes, and behaviors in line—that is, making them harmonious.
- Smokers often experience cognitive dissonance: they know that smoking is harmful to their health, but they continue to do it anyway.
-
- This lesson has used the presentation of new information to create cognitive dissonance, incremental presentation of stronger messages, positive role models, emotional presentations, and opportunities to exhibit and receive reinforcement for desired attitudes and behaviors.
- The overflowing trash bags create cognitive dissonance, and their research helps them develop attractive dissonance-reducing choices.
- Students whose diet and exercise habits were not consistent with good health probably experienced cognitive and affective dissonance during the lessons.
