1. Interval Formulas | 音程公式
An interval measures the pitch distance between two notes. It is described by a number (the staff distance) and a quality (major, minor, perfect, augmented or diminished). The fundamental formula is counting semitones. The table below shows the most common intervals with their semitone count, because knowing these 'interval formulas' by heart makes sight-reading and score analysis much faster.
音程衡量两个音符之间的音高距离。它用一个数字(谱面距离)和一个性质(大、小、纯、增或减)来描述。基本的公式就是数半音。下表列出了最常见的音程及其半音数量,熟记这些"音程公式"能让你在视奏和乐谱分析时快人一步。
| Interval Name | 中文名称 | Semitones |
|---|---|---|
| Perfect Unison | 纯一度 | 0 |
| Minor 2nd | 小二度 | 1 |
| Major 2nd | 大二度 | 2 |
| Minor 3rd | 小三度 | 3 |
| Major 3rd | 大三度 | 4 |
| Perfect 4th | 纯四度 | 5 |
| Augmented 4th / Diminished 5th | 增四度 / 减五度 | 6 |
| Perfect 5th | 纯五度 | 7 |
| Minor 6th | 小六度 | 8 |
| Major 6th | 大六度 | 9 |
| Minor 7th | 小七度 | 10 |
| Major 7th | 大七度 | 11 |
| Perfect Octave | 纯八度 | 12 |
formula: the new interval number equals 9 minus the original number, and the quality flips – For example, a major 3rd (4 semitones) inverts to a minor 6th (8 semitones, since 12−4=8).
还有一个非常有用的音程转位公式:新的音程度数等于 9 减原度数,并且性质反向转变——大变小,小变大,增变减,而纯音程保持纯。例如,大三度(4个半音)转位后变为小六度(8个半音,因为12−4=8)。
2. Scale Building Formulas | 音阶构建公式
Scales are built using fixed step patterns of tones (T) and semitones (S). A tone equals 2 semitones. The Edexcel syllabus expects you to recognise and write major, minor (natural, harmonic, melodic), chromatic and pentatonic scales. Think of these patterns as formulas you can apply starting from any tonic note.
音阶是利用由全音(T)和半音(S)组成的固定步进模式构建的。一个全音等于2个半音。Edexcel 考纲要求你能辨认并写出大调、小调(自然、和声、旋律)、半音阶和五声音阶。把这些模式视为可以套用在任何主音上的公式。
- Major scale formula: T T S T T T S 大调音阶公式: 全 全 半 全 全 全 半
- Natural minor formula: T S T T S T T 自然小调公式: 全 半 全 全 半 全 全
- Harmonic minor formula: T S T T S T+½ S 和声小调公式: 全 半 全 全 半 增二度 半
- Melodic minor (ascending) formula: T S T T T T S 旋律小调(上行)公式: 全 半 全 全 全 全 半
- Chromatic scale formula: every semitone consecutively 半音阶公式: 连续演奏所有半音
When descending, the melodic minor follows the natural minor pattern. The pentatonic major scale uses scale degrees 1–2–3–5–6 (omitting 4 and 7), which gives a formula of T–T–T+S–T–T+S from tonic. Commit these step formulas to memory, and you can instantly write any required scale in an exam.
下行时,旋律小调遵循自然小调模式。大调五声音阶使用音级 1–2–3–5–6(省略4和7),从主音出发的步进公式为 全–全–小三度–全–小三度。把这些步进公式牢记于心,你就能在考试中立刻写出任何要求的音阶。
3. Chord Construction Formulas | 和弦构建公式
Chords are vertical stacks of intervals, and you can construct them using semitone layer formulas. Triads consist of a root, a third and a fifth. By adjusting the number of semitones between these notes, you change the chord quality. The formulas below use the root as the starting point and add semitones cumulatively.
和弦是音程的纵向堆叠,你可以用半音叠加公式来构建。三和弦由根音、三音和五音组成。改变这些音之间的半音数量,就能变换和弦的性质。下面这些公式以根音为起点,累加半音数。
| Chord Type | 中文和弦 | Formula (cumulative semitones) |
|---|---|---|
| Major Triad | 大三和弦 | root + 4 + 3 |
| Minor Triad | 小三和弦 | root + 3 + 4 |
| Augmented Triad | 增三和弦 | root + 4 + 4 |
| Diminished Triad | 减三和弦 | root + 3 + 3 |
| Dominant 7th | 属七和弦 | root + 4 + 3 + 3 (major triad + minor 7th) |
| Major 7th | 大七和弦 | root + 4 + 3 + 4 |
| Minor 7th | 小七和弦 | root + 3 + 4 + 3 |
| Diminished 7th | 减七和弦 | root + 3 + 3 + 3 |
| Half-dim
