This is the interval between the third-to-last and second-to-last notes of each A section of “Body and Soul.” The two-note saxophone entry in Sonny Rollins’s “Blue 7” descends by this interval. This is the distance between the supertonic and the note added to a major scale to create a bebop major scale. The half-diminished chord in the fifth measure of each A section of “Autumn Leaves” follows a major chord this distance away. This is the interval between the lowest note and the second-highest note of a chord symbolized by a circle with a diagonal slash through it. One compound version of this interval is notated “sharp eleven.” A technique named for this interval might use a D-flat seventh chord as a dominant in C major; that is this interval’s namesake “substitution.” For 10 points, what interval can manifest as a diminished fifth? ■END■
ANSWER: tritone [accept tritone substitution; accept augmented fourth or diminished fifth until “For 10 points” is read]
