  2. Enharmonic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enharmonic_scale

    The ancient Greek meaning of enharmonic is that the scale contains at least one very narrow interval. (The spacing of each pair notes between their bracketing fixed notes is usually either approximately or exactly the same, so when there is one narrow interval in one bracket there is almost always another one inside the other bracket.) [4] Modern musical vocabulary has re-used the word ...

  3. Enharmonic equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enharmonic_equivalence

    A musical passage notated as flats. The same passage notated as sharps, requiring fewer canceling natural signs. Sets of notes that involve pitch relationships — scales, key signatures, or intervals, [1] for example — can also be referred to as enharmonic (e.g., the keys of C ♯ major and D ♭ major contain identical pitches and are therefore enharmonic).

  4. Pythagorean comma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_comma

    Disregarding this difference leads to enharmonic change ^ The 7 ♭ and 5 ♯ , respectively 5 ♭ and 7 ♯ scales differ in the same way by one Pythagorean comma. Scales with seven accidentals are seldom used, [ 5 ] because the enharmonic scales with five accidentals are treated as equivalent.

  5. Double harmonic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_harmonic_scale

    The double harmonic major scale [1] is a musical scale with a flattened second and sixth degree. This scale is enharmonic to the Mayamalavagowla raga, Bhairav raga, Byzantine scale, Arabic scale (Hijaz Kar), [1] [2] and Gypsy major scale. [3] It can be likened to a gypsy scale because of the diminished step between the 1st and 2nd degrees.

  6. Microtonality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtonality

    Microtonality is the use in music of microtones — intervals smaller than a semitone, also called "microintervals".It may also be extended to include any music using intervals not found in the customary Western tuning of twelve equal intervals per octave.

  7. DSM-5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-5

    A book-long appraisal of the DSM-5, with contributions from philosophers, historians and anthropologists, was published in 2015. [ 72 ] A 2015 essay from an Australian university criticized the DSM-5 for having poor cultural diversity, stating that recent work done in cognitive sciences and cognitive anthropology is still only accepting western ...

  8. Neo-Riemannian theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Riemannian_theory

    Edge-adjacent triads share two common pitches, and so the principal transformations are expressed as minimal motion of the Tonnetz. Unlike the historical theorist for which it is named, neo-Riemannian theory typically assumes enharmonic equivalence (G ♯ = A ♭), which wraps the planar graph into a torus.

  9. Augmented fifth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_fifth

    Augmented fifth on C. In Western classical music, an augmented fifth (Play ⓘ) is an interval produced by widening a perfect fifth by a chromatic semitone. [1] [3] For instance, the interval from C to G is a perfect fifth, seven semitones wide, and both the intervals from C ♭ to G, and from C to G ♯ are augmented fifths, spanning eight semitones.
