Chromaticism

the augmenting or diminishing, by a semitone, of a degree in a diatonic scale, thereby heightening the degree’s tendency to gravitate toward an adjacent degree. A chromatic semitone lies between a diatonic degree and its augmented or diminished variant. The difference between a chromatic semitone and a diatonic semitone is that the notes of the chromatic semitone belong to a single degree; thus, the chromatic semitone C–C sharp contrasts with the diatonic semitone C–D flat. Chromatic alteration is indicated by signs of alteration, or accidentals. Alteration is more common than chromaticism, since every chromaticism is an alteration, but not every alteration is chromatic; an alteration in C major, for example, may lead to the establishment of a new key. Chromatic alteration is a real change in a diatonic degree in one voice; alteration occurs when the diatonic variant of that degree is given before the altered note in another voice or does not precede it at all.
