However, there's the concept of a prime form of a pitch class set (explained in the link in my answer), and these can be ordered systematically and named by Forte numbers. The C-major triad would then be 3-11, which is actually the name of every major and minor triad. Of course, this is probably not what you mean by a name. | |
