In classical music from Western culture, an augmented third ( ) is an interval of five semitones. It may be produced by widening a major third by a chromatic semitone. For instance, the interval from C to E is a major third, four semitones wide, and both the intervals from C to E, and from C to E are augmented thirds, spanning five semitones. : { \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { \time 4/4 \set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t \tempo 1 = 20 1 } } Being augmented, it is considered a dissonant interval. Its inversion is the diminished sixth, and its enharmonic equivalent is the perfect fourth. The just augmented third, E , is 456.99 cents or 125:96. The Pythagorean augmented third, E , is 521.51 cents or 177147:131072, eleven just perfect fifths.
