Inversions of the chords of the ninth are so rarely used, that it has not been deemed necessary to supply them with similar independent designations. Any interval of a chord may be occasionally raised or lowered a semitone. In this way, combined with inversion, certain most pleasing combinations have been produced, some of which have become so important ns to merit special names. The chief of these are certain chords of the sixth, which we must not omit to describe. The Italian Sixth.--If we take the minor chord on the fonrth degree of the minor scale--viz., d-f-a in A minor, and raise the root a Bemitone, e. g., d %-f-a, we get a chord with diminished third as well as a diminished fifth, and which is therefore called a doubly diminished chord.
