Aug inverted chord - piano
Augmented chord inversions exploit its perfectly symmetrical structure (stacked major thirds). Each inversion produces the same harmonic effect, creating characteristic tonal ambiguity.
Intervals
| Degree | I | III | ♯V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interval | Root | Major third | Augmented fifth |
| Semitones | 0 | 4 | 8 |
Formula 1 - 3 - ♯5
Theory
The augmented chord divides the octave into three equal parts. Its inversions are enharmonically equivalent, enabling bold modulations and whole-tone progressions.
