Hi Guys!

Let’s have a look at Stravinsky’s “Petrushka” Chord. This works by employing polytonality with two major chords [Triads]. They are played a tritone apart. This creates a dissonance which it is infamous for. But, this can also be manipulated to create an etherial sound.

This example employs an F# 2nd inversion triad with a C Major 1st Inversion triad on top.

To finish with we will join the two major triads together and create an arpeggiated run in order to fully hear this compositional device in action.
