An 88-key piano, with the octaves numbered and Middle C (cyan) and A440 (yellow) highlighted A printable version of the standard key frequencies (only including the 88 keys on a standard piano) Values in bold are exact on an idealized standard piano.
An 88-key piano, with the octaves numbered and middle C (cyan) and A 4 (yellow) highlighted. A440 is widely used as concert pitch in the United Kingdom [8] and the United States. [9] In continental Europe the frequency of A 4 commonly varies between 440 Hz and 444 Hz. [8]

Example of piano tone clusters. The clusters in the upper staff—C ♯ D ♯ F ♯ G ♯ —are four successive black keys. The last two bars, played with overlapping hands, are a denser cluster. A tone cluster is a musical chord comprising at least three adjacent tones in a scale.
