Quality

The quality of an interval is determined by the number of half steps contained in the interval. Intervals with the same size can have different qualities. For example, the intervals between C-E and E-G are both thirds, but there are four half steps between C-E, versus three half steps between E-G. The third containing four half steps is called a major third. The third containing three half steps is called a minor third.
