False Relation. When two sounds a Chromatic Semitone, a DiminishedOctave, or an Augmented Octave apart are heard (in successiveharmonies) in different voices, False Relation occurs, :— -a _-n-fo-. Such conflicting harmonies as these are so harsh that they maybe at once dismissed as unworthy of consideration. But there is another kind of False Relation which is not sopalpably wrong. This is known as the False Relation of theTritone. The ancient authorities formulated a rule to the effect thatany two notes which are separated by the interval of anAugmented Fourth (or Tritone) must never appear in differentparts in two successive harmonies. A strict enforcement of this precept created difficulties ; andit was soon found necessary to claim a certain amount ofindulgence in regard to its observance. The experience of centuries has therefore modified the ruleto this extent: The False Relation of the Tritone is forbiddenin Conjunct Movement, : — Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.
