Tutayev
Tutayev (russian: Тута́ев) is a town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia. Population: It has previously been called Romanov-Borisoglebsk, and before that it was two towns separated by the Volga River: Romanov and Borisoglebsk. History Before 1918, it was called Romanov-Borisoglebsk (), and before 1822, when an order of the Tsar united them, there were two separate towns: Romanov (on the left bank of the Volga) and Borisoglebsk (on the right bank).

The eleventh is considered highly dissonant with the major third. A perfect eleventh is an eleventh which spans exactly 17 semitones. See also *Eleventh chord *Suspended chord A suspended chord (or sus chord) is a musical chord in which the (major or minor) third is omitted and replaced with a perfect fourth or a major second.
