False-relation (cross-relation)
Appearance of two contradictory notes in different voices. This is like having E and Eb in diagonal position rather than in horizontal
position (in the same voice). Such chromatic movement in different voices in successive beats is considered disturbing for the listener in the Classical period (see the transition of the first movement of Beethoven's String Quartet Op.18, No.1).
