Augmented unison

In modern Western tonal music theory an augmented unison or augmented prime is the interval between two notes on the same staff position, or denoted by the same note letter, whose alterations cause them, in ordinary equal temperament, to be one semitone apart.

See Kleisma and Augmented unison

Bohlen–Pierce scale

The Bohlen–Pierce scale (BP scale) is a musical tuning and scale, first described in the 1970s, that offers an alternative to the octave-repeating scales typical in Western and other musics, specifically the equal-tempered diatonic scale.

See Kleisma and Bohlen–Pierce scale

Cent (music)

The cent is a logarithmic unit of measure used for musical intervals.

See Kleisma and Cent (music)

Comma (music)

In music theory, a comma is a very small interval, the difference resulting from tuning one note two different ways. Kleisma and comma (music) are commas (music).

See Kleisma and Comma (music)

Diesis

In classical music from Western culture, a diesis (or enharmonic diesis, plural dieses (or "difference"; Greek: "leak" or "escape" is either an accidental (see sharp), or a very small musical interval, usually defined as the difference between an octave (in the ratio 2:1) and three justly tuned major thirds (tuned in the ratio 5:4), equal to 128:125 or about 41.06 cents. Kleisma and diesis are commas (music).

Interval (music)

In music theory, an interval is a difference in pitch between two sounds.

Jean-Philippe Rameau

Jean-Philippe Rameau (–) was a French composer and music theorist.

Just intonation

In music, just intonation or pure intonation is the tuning of musical intervals as whole number ratios (such as 3:2 or 4:3) of frequencies.

See Kleisma and Just intonation

Minor third

In music theory, a minor third is a musical interval that encompasses three half steps, or semitones.

See Kleisma and Minor third

Music theory

Music theory is the study of the practices and possibilities of music.

See Kleisma and Music theory

Musical temperament

In musical tuning, a temperament is a tuning system that slightly compromises the pure intervals of just intonation to meet other requirements.

See Kleisma and Musical temperament

Musical tuning

In music, there are two common meanings for tuning.

See Kleisma and Musical tuning

Octave

In music, an octave (octavus: eighth) or perfect octave (sometimes called the '''diapason''') is a series of eight notes occupying the interval between (and including) two notes, one having twice the frequency of vibration of the other.

See Kleisma and Octave

Perfect fifth

In music theory, a perfect fifth is the musical interval corresponding to a pair of pitches with a frequency ratio of 3:2, or very nearly so.

See Kleisma and Perfect fifth

Quarter tone

A quarter tone is a pitch halfway between the usual notes of a chromatic scale or an interval about half as wide (orally, or logarithmically) as a semitone, which itself is half a whole tone.

See Kleisma and Quarter tone

Shohé Tanaka

was a Japanese physicist, music theorist, and inventor.

Third (chord)

In music, the third factor of a chord is the note or pitch two scale degrees above the root or tonal center.

See Kleisma and Third (chord)

Unison

In music, unison is two or more musical parts that sound either the same pitch or pitches separated by intervals of one or more octaves, usually at the same time.

See Kleisma and Unison

19 equal temperament

In music, 19 equal temperament, called 19 TET, 19 EDO ("Equal Division of the Octave"), 19-ED2 ("Equal Division of 2:1) or 19 ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the octave into 19 equal steps (equal frequency ratios).

See Kleisma and 19 equal temperament

34 equal temperament

In musical theory, 34 equal temperament, also referred to as 34-TET, 34-EDO or 34-ET, is the tempered tuning derived by dividing the octave into 34 equal-sized steps (equal frequency ratios).

See Kleisma and 34 equal temperament

53 equal temperament

In music, 53 equal temperament, called 53 TET, 53 EDO, or 53 ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the octave into 53 equal steps (equal frequency ratios). Kleisma and 53 equal temperament are commas (music).

See Kleisma and 53 equal temperament

72 equal temperament

In music, 72 equal temperament, called twelfth-tone, 72-TET, 72-EDO, or 72-ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the octave into twelfth-tones, or in other words 72 equal steps (equal frequency ratios).

See Kleisma and 72 equal temperament
