The extremes of the meantone systems encountered in historical practice are the Pythagorean tuning, where the whole tone corresponds to 9:8, i.e. (3:2) 2 / 2 , the mean of the major third (3:2) 4 / 4 , and the fifth (3:2) is not tempered; and the 1 ⁄ 3-comma meantone, where the fifth is tempered to the extent that three ...
The Harmonic Table keyboard layout was used in a keyboard harmonica called the Harmonetta, [2] invented by Ernst Zacharias [3] and manufactured by Hohner from the early 1950s through the mid-1970s. A similar keyboard was developed by Larry Hanson [4] in 1942 for use with a 53 tone scale but turns the fifth sideways and the major third to the ...
A transposition by 1, 4, 7, or 10 semitones will transform the E ♭ scale into the D ♭ scale, the C ♯ scale into the D scale, and the D scale into the E ♭ scale. Conversely, transpositions by 2, 5, 8, or 11 semitones acts in the reverse way; the E ♭ scale goes to the D scale, D to C ♯ and C ♯ to E ♭ .
In music theory, limits or harmonic limits are a way of characterizing the harmony found in a piece or genre of music, or the harmonies that can be made using a particular scale. The term limit was introduced by Harry Partch , [ 1 ] who used it to give an upper bound on the complexity of harmony; hence the name.
The basic regularity theorem concerning the metric in harmonic coordinates is that if the components of the metric are in the Hölder space C k, α when expressed in some coordinate chart, regardless of the smoothness of the chart itself, then the transition function from that coordinate chart to any harmonic coordinate chart will be in the ...
Blues harp. The Richter-tuned harmonica, 10-hole harmonica (in Asia) or blues harp (in America), is the most widely known type of harmonica.It is a variety of diatonic harmonica, with ten holes which offer the player 19 notes (10 holes times a draw and a blow for each hole minus one repeated note) in a three-octave range.
Chromatic harmonicas are usually 12, 14 or 16 holes long. The 12-hole chromatic is available in 12 keys, but because the entire chromatic scale is available by definition, most professionals stick with the key of C—which is perhaps easier to remember, since slide in will automatically be the sharps of the associated note.
