Johannes Brahms 's Tragic Overture also features the chord prominently (A–C ♯ –E ♯ ), in alternation with the regular dominant (A–C ♯ –E).

100-610: A large-scale application of the augmented triad (although it probably arose from other lines of development not necessarily connected to the augmented triad). This kind of organization is common; in addition to Schubert, it is found in music of Franz Liszt, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov , Louis Vierne and Richard Wagner, among others.

Whereas a major triad , such as C–E–G, contains a major third (C–E) and a minor third (E–G), with the interval of the fifth (C–G) being perfect , the augmented triad has an augmented fifth , becoming C–E–G ♯ . In other words,

225-431: The 4-part vocal score for the song (in the key of F) uses B ♭ –D–F ♯ to harmonize the downbeat as IV+ (the enharmonic equivalent of VI+).

325-438: The augmented chord occurs in rock music "almost always as a linear embellishment linking an opening tonic chord with the next chord", for example John Lennon 's " (Just Like) Starting Over " and The Beatles' " All My Loving ". Thus, with an opening tonic chord, an augmented chord results from ascending or descending movement between the fifth and sixth degrees, such as in the chord progression I – I+ – vi. This progression forms

600-434: The verse for Oasis 's 2005 single " Let There Be Love " (I – I+ – vi – IV) The augmented triad differs from the other kinds of triad (the major triad , the minor triad , and the diminished triad ) in that it does not naturally arise in a diatonic scale . Although it could be conceptualized as a triad built on the third degree of a harmonic minor scale or melodic minor scale , it virtually never occurs in this way due to
