In Greek mythology, the apple of discord was a golden apple thrown into an assembly of the gods by the goddess of discord (Eris) bearing the inscription 'for the fairest.' Aphrodite, Hera and Pallas became competitors for it, and its adjudication to the first by Paris so inflamed the jealousy and hatred of Hera to all of the Trojan race (to which Paris belonged) that she did not cease her machinations until Troy was destroyed.

In music, preparation is the holding over of a note from one chord into the next chord, where it forms a temporary discord, until resolved in the chord that follows, that is the anticipation of a discordant note in the preceding concord, so that the ear is prepared for the shock.
