  • a display surface;

    a plurality of indicia on the display surface, the indicia distributed substantially radially symmetrically with respect to one another, wherein the indicia correspond to evenly spaced notes arranged sequentially according to pitch;

    for each pair of notes making up the given initial chord, a line connecting the pair of indicia that correspond to that pair of notes;

    wherein the color of each line is a function of the number of notes separating the indicia connected by that line;

    whereby chords having common relationships between the individual notes making up the chords appear as symbols having a common shape and color composition, but a variable orientation.
