Key Points

  • The word "Consonance" means the agreement or compatibility between opinions or actions; in the context of sounds, it refers to the harmony and pleasant combination of notes. (संगति, मेल)
    • Example: The consonance of their voices created a beautiful harmony.
  • "Symphony" refers to an elaborate musical composition for a full orchestra, typically in four movements, at least one of which is traditionally in sonata form.
  • It also denotes a harmonious combination of elements. (संगीत रचना)
