Major second
In Western music theory, a major second is a second spanning two semitones . A second is a musical interval encompassing two adjacent staff positions . For example, the interval from C to D is a major second, as the note D lies two semitones above C, and the two notes are notated on adjacent staff positions. Diminished, minor and augmented seconds are notated on adjacent staff positions as well, but consist of a different number of semitones .The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Major second
