The D major chord
is comprised of two whole steps (from the note D to the note F#, a major
3rd interval) and one and one-half steps (from the note F# to the note
A, a minor 3rd interval). Therefore, the three notes that comprise a D
major chord are: D + F# + A. This analysis holds true for all major
chords. Notice that the spelling of the D major chord form in Figure 1
is D + A + D + F#. |
