Mixed-interval chord

Mixed-interval chord
Mixed-interval chords from the opening to Arnold Schoenberg's Klavierstück Op. 33a[1] (About this sound Play ).

In music a mixed-interval chord is a chord not characterized by one consistent interval. Chords characterized by one consistent interval, or primarily but with alterations, are equal-interval chords. Mixed interval chords, "lend themselves particularly," to atonal music since they tend to be dissonant.[2]

Equal-interval chords are often of indeterminate root and mixed-interval chords are also often best characterized by their interval content.[2] "Equal-interval chords are often altered to make them 'impure' as in the case of quartal and quintal chords with tritones, chords based on seconds with varying intervals between the seconds."[2]
