The third in a triad is usually what determines whether a chord is major or minor. By removing it and substituting it with a different note, we end up with something that is neither. This creates some interesting harmonic possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sus-chords-in-classical-music\" style=\"font-size:28px\">Sus Chords in Classical Music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Sus chords aren\u2019t as popular in classical music as they are in jazz and pop, but the principle was alive back in the day. For example, Bach uses suspended notes in his famous Prelude in C Minor. The prelude is decidedly minor throughout the piece, but ends on a C Major chord (a technique called the <em>tierce de picardie<\/em>). The lead up to the C Major chord is a drawn-out sus chord that finally resolves to the major third.
