Augmented seventh
In
classical music
from
Western culture
, an
augmented seventh
is an
interval
produced by
widening
a
major seventh
by a
chromatic semitone
. For instance, the interval from C to B is a major seventh, eleven semitones wide, and both the intervals from C to B, and from C to B are augmented sevenths, spanning twelve semitones. Being augmented, it is classified as a
dissonant
interval. However, it is
enharmonically equivalent
to the
perfect octave
.
