The size of an interval between two notes may be measured by the ratio of their frequencies.When a musical instrument is tuned using a just intonation tuning system, the size of the main intervals can be expressed by small-integer ratios, such as 1:1 (), 2:1 (), 5:3 (major sixth), 3:2 (perfect fifth), 4:3 (perfect fourth), 5:4 (major third), 6:5 (minor third).
His piano music includes shorter sonatas, rondos and variation forms; much of it was written for pedagogical purposes, although a few works are more technically advanced. He also wrote several important pedagogical works, including the Lessons and Exercises in Vocal Music (c.1811) and The Analytical Instructor for the Piano Forte (1826). [1]

In musical tuning theory, a Pythagorean interval is a musical interval with a frequency ratio equal to a power of two divided by a power of three, or vice versa. [1] For instance, the perfect fifth with ratio 3/2 (equivalent to 3 1 / 2 1 ) and the perfect fourth with ratio 4/3 (equivalent to 2 2 / 3 1 ) are Pythagorean intervals.

Historically, this interval, like the tritone, is described as being "mi contra fa", and therefore is the "diabolus in musica" (the Devil in music). [6] In 12-tone equal temperament , it is the enharmonic equivalent of a diatonic semitone or minor second , [ 1 ] although in other tunings the diatonic semitone is a different interval.
