*The FAGE Chord, named after Canadian composer Shane Fage who brought it to my attention, is a maj 9th chord with no 3rd or 5th. In this case the spelling was C#4, D#4, and C5 on top. The chord can be heard at the beginning of the first movement, and at the end of the second movement. It is broken apart and expanded on in the third movement.
