This article is about the musical term. For other uses, see
Diminution (disambiguation).
In
Western music and
music theory, diminution (from
Medieval Latin diminutio, alteration of Latin deminutio, decrease) has four distinct meanings. Diminution may be a form of
embellishment in which a long note is divided into a series of shorter, usually melodic, values. Diminution may also be the compositional device where a melody, theme or motif is presented in shorter note-values than were previously used. Diminution is also the term for the proportional shortening of the
value of individual note-shapes in mensural notation, either by
coloration or by a
sign of proportion. A minor or perfect
interval that is narrowed by a
chromatic semitone is a
diminished interval, and the process may be referred to as diminution.
