Discord
in music, a combination of notes which produces a certain restless craving in the mind for some further combination upon which it can rest with satisfaction. Discords comprise such chords as contain notes which are next to cach other in alphabetical order, and such as have augmented or diminished inter- DISEASE vals, with the exception in the latter case of the chord of the sixth and third on the second note of any key. The changed combination which must follow them, in order to relieve the sense of pain they produce, is called the resolution.
In fine arts, a term applied to paintings when there is a disagreement of the parts or coloring.
