I get tired of minor people. I’m used to thinking like in the joke about the Jew - if a problem can be solved with money, then it’s not a problem, but an expense. Until recently, by minor I meant people who make it clear in the background that life is pain; for some, even getting up in the morning is an inhuman feat. Yes, I know about sugar spikes, I’m like that myself. But we're not talking about sugar here.
Recently we met some acquaintances whom I did not position in any way - well, good people and good people. Only their children were always sad and despondent. This got me thinking, where does all this baggage come from? And then it suddenly dawned on me that all the days of rest, none of the parents were really happy, not even smiling. They didn’t swear, they weren’t sad, but the general non-verbal background was sad and slightly dissatisfied. So you understand: the first week of a normal summer, the Volga, sun, vacation, reflections on the water, water lilies and lilies, jumping fish... In short, a resort. AND Always slightly dissatisfied faces. No smiling for any reason. Moreover, people themselves are verbally quite happy with life, but non-verbally life is, if not pain, then at least a turmoil. I don’t expect people to jump to the ceiling, but this background is oppressive. I accept them, but I prefer a calm background - zero or above zero. It’s good that I simply don’t have such people in my circle of loved ones.
I immediately remembered the national characteristics of perception: like Americans smile falsely, a Russian person, in the opinion of an American, is gloomy and serious, but in the opinion of a European, he is generally aggressive. Damn. That's when you realize that this is really so. You have to watch your face)))))). Because everyone has problems, but most often they are just expenses, and they have nothing to do with others. And we even have every right to spoil our holiday with this constant minor. But is it necessary to pass on this sweet habit to your children? It is no better than the habit of swearing or looking for someone to blame. Or am I taking it too seriously?

I honestly take care of my face all my life, sometimes it works. I do this simply because I have a specific facial structure - a set of drooping eyes, circles under the eyes and drooping corners of the lips. (I don’t have Slavic cheeks yet!!!))) And if I don’t smile and don’t use concealer, they start asking me what happened and who died. Therefore, in my case, “a smile is the best makeup” is the only way to communicate with people. ( nitoc I said that I am Pierrot without makeup :-))

And here's another question. (The conversation got sidetracked) Are we not attracting something unnecessary to ourselves? There is Vedic wisdom that a woman who is happy and satisfied with her life is given everything she wants. Therefore, being happy and contented is not a final factor, but an initial factor. Well, we all remember about the goldfish.

Do you have minor people around? How do you get along with them?

If we talk about the most common modes, then from the point of view of music theory, minor is a mode that has a certain sad tint. This coloring is given to it by the combination of a minor third and a perfect fifth in the construction of triads and arpeggios. In this case, the minor third is built from the tonic note, and then the major third is added to the interval. The result is a perfect fifth between the tonic and the dominant.

Minor and its meaning

The meaning of the word “minor” is inextricably linked with its interpretation from the point of view of the Latin language. After all, it came from there. Minor is a word derived from the Latin “molls,” which can literally be translated as “soft” or “sad.” It is not surprising that the designation of minor keys is made by adding the word “moll” to the tonic. For example, C minor (C minor).

Varieties of minor

They have three main varieties: natural, harmonic and melodic minor. The construction of the scale is different in each case, regardless of what key signs the tonality uses.

In natural minor, the execution of the scale involves only the signs in the key. The harmonic minor is a scale with a raised seventh degree, and the melodic minor has two degrees raised at once (sixth and seventh) and is played in different sequences up and down. That is, when playing in an ascending manner, the indicated levels increase. In reverse order, the “bekar” sign is used for them, and the notes sound in their pure form. This standard rule applies to all sharp or flat keys, as well as the only minor key that does not contain the A minor key.

By the way, to simplify the designation, the full name of the minor is often not used, and a small letter “m” is simply added to the main tonic note in the Latin version. If we give the simplest example based on such an abbreviation, then the same “E minor” will look like “Em”. It's very simple and convenient. It goes without saying that to designate keys like “C-sharp minor” you can use notations like “C#m” or “Cis-minor”. The second category of designations is used extremely rarely. The simplest abbreviation is enough.

Most Common Minor Scales

The most common and most frequently used are minor keys with tonics on the notes “A” and “E”. In this case, minor is a scale containing a minimum of key signs. In the minor scale, there are no “A” in the key at all. In E minor there is only F sharp. It is precisely thanks to the simplicity of playing the scale and constructing the main triads that these minors have become most widespread among pianists and guitarists.

For both instruments, chord technique is the simplest and is included in the initial music course. For the guitar, you can also distinguish “D minor”, ​​the chord of which is basic for playing with just three fingers, just like “A minor”. E minor uses just two fingers to press the fourth and fifth strings on the second fret.

Lyrical characteristics of minor

Minor keys are distinguished by the fact that they give a piece of music a mournful tone or even some lyrical notes. In combination with the main scale degrees and parallel majors, they can cause a storm of emotions that simply cannot be expressed in words. If you look at it, most musical ballads or slow compositions are presented in minor keys. This is understandable, because deep feelings are conveyed only in this way. One has only to hear the initial chords, and the soul is immediately plunged into awe.

Of course, the matter is not limited to just a combination of standard harmonies and chords. For example, the use of increased and decreased triads by Pink Floyd adds an indescribable effect of psychedelic style to the compositions. For any musician, using minor keys gives a wide scope for creativity, despite the seven standard notes of the scale.
