The major seventh is <strong>the</strong> far<strong>the</strong>st apart<br />
<strong>of</strong> any interval. After <strong>the</strong> major<br />
seventh, notes begin repeating at <strong>the</strong><br />
octave.<br />
This interval can be recognized as “I’m<br />
cross…” from <strong>the</strong> phrase “I’m crossing<br />
you in style” in <strong>the</strong> song “Moon River,”<br />
performed by greats like Andy<br />
Williams, Frank Sinatra, and later by<br />
Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at<br />
Tiffany’s.”
