Tetrachord
In musical theory, a tetrachord is a series of four diatonic tones encompassing the interval of a perfect fourth.
Two similar tetrachords, a tone apart, form the diatonic major scale.
In musical set theory, a tetrachord is a collection of four pitch classes, often one of the three ordered tetrachords in a tone row or set form. Tetrachords may be used to create derived rows and invariance.
