Round 3: Tossup 9

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