The interval is said to be harmonic.
The interval between two notes played simultaneously can be classified as either a melodic interval or a harmonic interval. However, in this case, the correct answer is harmonic.
To determine the correct answer, we can start by understanding the definitions of melodic and harmonic intervals:
- Melodic intervals: These intervals occur when two notes are played consecutively in a sequence (one after the other). For example, if you play a C followed by an E, you create a melodic interval of a major third. Melodic intervals refer to the distance between two notes when they are played in succession.
- Harmonic intervals: These intervals occur when two notes are played simultaneously (at the same time). For example, if you play a C and an E together, you create a harmonic interval of a major third. Harmonic intervals refer to the distance between two notes when they are played together simultaneously.
Now let's consider the given options:
- Melodic: Since we are dealing with simultaneous notes, this option can be eliminated.
- Relative: This option refers to the relationship between major and minor keys, and is not relevant to the concept of intervals.
- Minor: This option refers to the quality of a specific interval (minor intervals) and is not specific to simultaneously played notes.
So, by the process of elimination, the correct answer is harmonic.
