Tossup

Flattening an equal-tempered interval of this number by 32 cents yields the “harmonic” type of the same interval. (10[2]-5[2])In a major (10[1])key, a diatonic (10[1])triad whose root is the scale (10[1])degree of this number (-5[1])is the only one (-5[1])to be diminished. (10[5]-5[3])The scale (10[1])degree (10[3]-5[1])of this (-5[1])number (10[1])is (10[2])flattened (10[2])in the Mixolydian (10[3])mode. (10[4]-5[4])The harmonic (-5[2])minor (-5[1])modifies this scale (10[2])degree (10[2])from the natural (10[2])minor. (10[2]-5[1])C sharp major (10[1]-5[2])has (10[1])this (10[1])many (-5[1])sharps (10[3])in its (10[1])key (10[1]-5[2])signature. (10[3]-5[3])Adding the fourth (10[3]-5[1])scale degree (10[1])to a five chord (-5[1])gives a “dominant” chord named for this number. (10[2])Depending (10[2])on the tonality, the scale degree (10[1])of this number is called the subtonic (10[1]-5[1])or the leading tone, (10[3])and it is the note directly below the tonic. (-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1])give this number of players in a septet. (10[2])■END■ (10[33])
