[comp.music] minor triad

	If you look at the three intervals of the triad 10:12:15, you get three nice ratios -- 5:6, 2:3, 4:5, all simpler than any of the ratios in 5:7:11.  The absence of "complex" ratios between any pair of tones seems justification enough for the acceptance of the triad as stable.
