In music, a diminished triad ( Play ), also known as the minor flatted fifth (mâ­5), is a triad consisting of three minor thirds above the root â if built on C, a diminished triad would have a C, an Eâ­ and a Gâ­.
In music theory, a distinction is made between a diatonic semitone, or minor second (an interval encompassing two staff positions, e.g. from C to D â­) and a chromatic semitone or augmented unison (an interval between two notes at the same staff position, e.g. from C to C â¯).t is also called a chromatic semitone. The augmented unison is abbreviated A1, or aug 1. Its inversion is the diminished octave (d8, or dim 8). The augmented unison is also the inversion of the augmented octave, because the interval of the diminished unison does not exist.
