Unequal Fifths

What are Unequal Fifths?


A Diminished 5th preceded or followed by a perfect 5th in the same pair of voices


When do Unequal fifths occur mostly ?


Are Unequal Fifths bad or good?


Are Unequal Fifths best in the outer voices?

dunno what "unequal" 5ths are, unless you mean b5 and #5.

you can put em anywhere.

altered 5ths sound dissonant in most contexts, unless youre using modes.
theyre also good for key modulations.

The Unequal fifths are going to sound very dissonant and are going to build a decent amount of tension. I would use them on a V chord and resolve to the I chord.

"Unequal fifths"...There's another oxymoron for the book...and I can't tell if that second line of yours is a comment or a question. Those last two sound more like rhetorical questions to me. However, I can answer the 3rd--because most dissonant-sounding-chords take place in the II, III, IV, V, and VII chords.
