I'm sure you are familiar with harmonics and the way that notes resonate with eachother. When you play an A note on the piano, every other A note vibrates in resonance with it. If you play a chord, then you resonate not just the notes of the chords, but all the keys which are in the overtones.I'm not sure that it helps the initial question but I would just like to add that technically when you play only one note you already have all the other notes contained in the harmonics. There is no need to play a chord. Although it is so subtle you can barely hear further than 3-4 harmonics. But you're still right about the concept itself.
Well I think that might depend to some degree on what exactly is making the sound but I get what you mean.
Yes definitely. There is hardly any harmonics on electronic sounds as opposed to let's say a real concert piano or an acoustic guitar.
