Template:PD-chord

This media depicts a chord outside of a specific musical context. Chords consist of an unordered collection of pitches outside of time (no "distinctiveness"), may be used in compositions by multiple composers ("common material"), and may not be readily apparent in compositions. As such, a chord is a musical concept or technique, which is considered too simple to be eligible for copyright protection, or which consists only of technique, with no original creative input.
