The Magic Chord is a chord and installation (1984) created by La Monte Young, consisting of the pitches E, F, A, B{{music|b}}, D, E, G, and A, in ascending order and used in works including his The Well-Tuned Piano and Chronos Kristalla (1990).[3] The latter was performed by the Kronos Quartet and features all notes of the magic chord as harmonics on open strings.[3] The quartet has been described as, "offer[ing] perhaps the ultimate challenge in performing in a just environment."[4] Described as, "complex and throbbing," the chord does not contain its fundamental (see root (chord)),[5] E{{music|b}}, and is a subset of the Romantic Chord,[6] G-Dorian in eight octaves, spelled G,A,B,C,D,E,F{{music|#}},G.[7] "When the Magic Opening Chord is obtained by playing the Opening Chord at one end of a room while the Magic Chord is played at the other (as Young set it up for me), the feeling-changes of the stereo effect as you move back and forth[-]are dazzling."[5] The opening chord consists of E{{music|b}}, B{{music|b}}, C, E{{music|b}}, F, B{{music|b}} (ratios 4:6:7:8:9:12 {{audio|La Monte Young - Opening chord on E-flat.mid|Play}}),[8] adding C[9] and E{{music|b}} to the magic chord when combined as the magic opening chord ({{audio|La Monte Young - Magic opening chord.mid|Play}}). The Well-Tuned Piano is based on a pitch lattice of perfect fifths and harmonic sevenths, tuned as follows:[10][11]
For example, G (21/16) is the harmonic seventh of the perfect fifth (7/4 * 3/2 = 21/16):
