An '''augmented triad''' is a [[chord (music)|chord]], made up of two [[major third]]s (an [[augmented fifth]]). The term ''augmented triad'' arises from an augmented triad being considered a [[major chord]] whose top note (fifth) is raised.  When using [[Chord names and symbols (popular music)|popular-music symbols]], it is indicated by the symbol "+" or "aug". For example, the augmented triad built on A{{music|flat}}, written as A{{music|flat}}+, has pitches A{{music|flat}}-C-E:<blockquote><score sound="1">
{ \omit Score.TimeSignature \relative c' { <as c e>1 } }
</score></blockquote>The chord can be represented by the [[Pitch class#Integer notation|integer notation]] {0,&nbsp;4,&nbsp;8}.
