- Klang (music)
-
In music, Klang (German: sound) is the, "chord of nature", so called because it is built from the first five partials of the overtone series[1] (which if built on C produces: CC'G'C"E", a C major chord). The Klang is the abstracted referential sonority, the tonic triad, in Riemannian theory, the dualistic music theory of Hugo Riemann.[2]
According to Heinrich Schenker, "The musical sonority as it exists in Nature is a triad" [Der Klang in der Natur ist ein Dreiklang][3] ("drei" = three).
