No need to worry David. I agree with you - the opening notes ARE a Tritone. Can you fill me in as to how you apply this song association business? I never heard of it or used it before and I can't picture it in use. If you're asked to sing a given interval then I can see it *might* be useful, but it's surely just as easy/quick to run through a scale in your head and add/subtract semitones if needed. If you're asked to name an interval played on a piano I can't see how the song association would help you at all. The bare m6 interval always sounds minor to me at first, as though I'm imagining an F bass when I hear a C & Ab. That interval always sounds to me like the 2 opening notes of the sad music they used to play in silent movies. Or perhaps something Russian, or Gypsy violins? But think about it over an Eb bass and it becomes major - Ab/Eb. Put it over a D bass and it becomes D7dim. How does song association help?
