In music, a diminished triad ( Play ), also known as the minor flatted fifth (mâ­5), is a triad consisting of three minor thirds above the root â if built on C, a diminished triad would have a C, an Eâ­ and a Gâ­.
The larger third that defines the major triad has a different emotional quality, it seems, from that of the smaller minor third that distinguishes the minor triad. There are other differences between the major and minor scales, of course, but the main thing is that tonic chord to which the music returns home so often.
