Hey Niklas!

Personally, I find the augmented chord confusing. It leaves you hanging in the air, not knowing where to go. Meanwhile, the diminished chord is unstable, making it difficult to stay in for a long time. You feel the need to leave as soon as possible, the need to go somewhere.

Thinking about these feelings is how I tell them apart.

@John Huang Great score! You beat the second twin, and with a few more tries, you'd probably beat the first one too... now I have to try to beat the triplets lol

Help -- I'm finding it impossible to distinguish between P4 and P5 in Intervalis, when they are played at the same time, even though it's showing up on level 2, so clearly ToneGym thinks it should be easy! Any tips?

P4: you will hear “Here comes the bride”!
👍

P5 Ascending: John Williams’ Star Wars (Main theme first interval)

P5 Descending: John Williams’ Superman (Main theme first interval change)
👍

Thank me later 😉
