The first two notes of “Here Comes (10[1])the Bride” correspond to this musical interval. An augmented form of this interval is known as a tritone. Apart from the unison, this is the smallest musical interval that is perfect. This interval, which is made up of five semitones, separates the subdominant and the tonic notes in a scale.
