Free 1 -The chord is recognized anywhere along
the keyboard, even if played in the right hand
or using both hands. The chord must com-
prise a minimum of three notes.
In order not to be considered as part of the
chord, melody notes must be played at least
a fifth interval (seven semitones) higher than
the highest note of the chord.
If the bass note of the chord is separated from
the rest by more than a fifth interval (seven
semitones), the chord recognized will be di-
vided into two parts: the bass note itself, and
the rest of the notes which make up the chord.
The bass note is considered a ‘Pedal note’.
For example (see the illustration), if a chord
of C major is played with a D in the bass, the
chord symbol will be «C Maj/D».
While the instrumental parts in the accom-
paniment play in the recognized key (C ma-
jor in our example), the Bass part will play
around the lowest note (D in our example).
