I’ll explain: By pitch classes I mean that all C’s are one pitch class, all D’s are one pitch class and so on. So if you play three C’s (say, C2, C3 and C4) together, it is not a chord because these are three notes, but the same pitch class (though in very rare circumstances even this could suggest a chord). If you played C, F and B together, this would already be a chord. By ”not all need to sound” I mean that you can omit some but you will still hear their presence in a way (and if you have really good ears, you may even really hear it). For example you can always omit the perfect fifth, like in C major chord which is build of C, E and G (the perfect fifth), you can play C and E together, without the G and you will still hear it as a C ma
