Dissonant

A dissonant is a dissonant note in music theory of consonance and dissonance. One of the early composers known for use of dissonants was Monteverdi.[1] The use of dissonants was also practiced by Moscheles[2] and taught by Chopin.[3]

Bakker Italian opera 1949 Page 14 "His use of dissonants was in contradiction to all known rules; his melodies showed unheard-of intervals; he even neglected the rules of counterpoint, secure in his conviction that the new subjective art form needed a new means of expression."

The D flat is here a diminished 7th, which, though a dissonant, is not necessarily resolved in all cases."

A dissonant is likewise stronger, and equally so a syncopated note. The ending of a phrase, before a comma, or a stop, is always weak. If the melody ascends, one plays crescendo, if it descends, decrescendo. Moreover, notice must be taken of natural accents."
