Notes that conflict, or sound outside of a chord in which they occur Such notes usually fall outside of the overtones which are being generated by the note or chord that is sounding

n The lack of agreement, consistency or harmony; conflict

{i} discord, cacophony; difference, inconsistency
The sounding of two or more tones which produce an effect of harshness or instability, and demand "resolution" to a consonance Like consonance, the concept of dissonance is dependent upon both context and the way our ears have been cultured Some intervals considered dissonant in the Medieval period were found to be consonant during the Renaissance Also, the way a dissonance is resolved (and even the way it is orchestrated) can decrease or intensify how "harsh" it sounds Intervals commonly considered dissonant in tonal music are the major and minor seconds and sevenths
The unstable, unresolved sound of an interval or chord whose constituent notes are not in simple frequency ratio relationships with each other See Section 2 14
A combination of tones that sounds discordant and unstable, in need of resolution [Harmony]
An interaction between two or more pitches or frequencies that conflict, resulting in wobbles, beats, or rough sound In mathematical terms, they vibrate or oscillate in asymetrical relationships that cause distortion commensurate with the degree of mathematical conflict
The result of the relationship between two inconsistent ideas The result of the relationship between two inconsistent ideas
A mingling or union of harsh, inharmonious sounds which are grating to the ear (See also Cacophony) (Contrast Euphony)
a combination of notes that is jarring or unresolved
Sometimes cognitive dissonance The sense of discomfort people experience when confronted by contradictory ideas
Dissonance is a lack of agreement or harmony between things. = discord

A mingling of discordant sounds; an inharmonious combination of sounds; discord
A harsh blending of sounds
(a) In music, an inharmonious combination of sounds; contrasted with consonance (b) In social psychology, Festinger's term for discomfort arising from a perceived inconsistency between one's attitudes and one's behavior See also cognitive dissonance

cognitive dissonance
discrepancy between what a person does and what they think or believe; psychological state of conflict that occurs when a person's behavior contradicts their thoughts or beliefs
cognitive dissonance
A condition of conflict or anxiety resulting from inconsistency between one's beliefs and one's actions, such as opposing the slaughter of animals and eating meat. Mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The concept was introduced by the psychologist Leon Festinger (1919-1989) in the late 1950s. He and later researchers showed that, when confronted with challenging new information, most people seek to preserve their current understanding of the world by rejecting, explaining away, or avoiding the new information or by convincing themselves that no conflict really exists
consonance and dissonance
Perceived qualities of musical chords and intervals. Consonance is often described as relative "stability," and dissonance as "instability." In musical contexts, certain intervals seem to call for motion by one of the tones to "resolve" perceived dissonance. The most consonant intervals are generally recognized as the unison and octave, and the next most consonant interval as the perfect fifth. Consonance tends to reflect the early intervals of the overtone series (which include, in addition to the octave and perfect fifth, the major and minor thirds and the perfect fourth), but many musical factors can affect the perception of consonance and dissonance
