Interval Question Options

[Phil66]

Hello folks,

Can you tell me what the interval is in the first one please, I find it sounds very very sad if played slowly, either individual notes or letting the first note ring. Is the interval the same in the second TAB? I can't get my head around it as it's the same notes but one going down to A and one going up to A. The second one I still find sad but not as sad as the first, kind of like having a glimmer of hope but the sadness is still there. I hope this makes sense.

Thank you.

Tbh I think you are getting too lock up in the fact that an interval most evoke some sort of predefine feeling.

I had the hardest time recognizing specifically major thirds, because everyone used to tell me, Yeh happy sound.
But to me they sounded like nothing. So I couldn't really get an emotional connection with it as I did with the others intervals.

Nowadays I can hear it on the fly, but it's more mathematical process rather than feeling,

Funny enough I have always found the minor 6 the saddest interval and if you inverted it, you get a major 3.
I wonder if that's what been messing up my perception of happiness regarding it.



"a major 3rd is 4 semitones, why not 3?" 3 semitones it's still a 3rd just a minor rather than major.
The semitones its the unit of mesaurment and the interval name its the label. Just because you walked up 7 semitones doesn't mean you are playing a seventh.
