Download or read book Intervals Scales Tones and the Concert Pitch C written by Maria Renold and published by Temple Lodge Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that certain intervals, scales, and tones sound genuine, while others sound false? Is the modern person able to experience a qualitative difference in a tone's pitch? If so, what are the implications for modern concert pitch and how instruments of fixed tuning are tuned? Renold tackles these and many other questions and provides a wealth of scientific data. Her pioneering work is the result of a lifetime of research into the Classical Greek origin of Western music and the search for modern developments. She deepens our musical understanding by using Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science as a basis, and she elucidates many of his puzzling statements about music. The results of her work include the following discoveries: - The octave has two sizes (a 'genuine' sounding octave is bigger than the "perfect octave") - There are three sizes of "perfect fifths" - An underlying "form principle" for all scales can be found - Equal temperament is not the most satisfactory method of tuning a piano - She provides a basis for some of Steiner's statements, such as, "C is always prime" and "C = 128 Hz = Sun." Intervals, Scales, Tones is a valuable resource for those who wish to understand the deeper, spiritual aspects of music.

Download or read book Abstract Musical Intervals written by Ming Tsao and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to GIS (Generalized Interval Systems) theory that includes the major results of pitch-class theory. It provides mathematicians with applications of group theory to music and music theorists with the essential connections between GIS theory and pitch-class theory. Many of the results in pitch-class theory are not addressed by David Lewin (such as power functions or the Common Tone Theorem for inversions). The book states those results and generalizes them to conform with GIS theory. Finally, it addresses recent criticisms leveled at pitch-class theory and suggests how they can be addressed in GIS theory.

Download or read book Binary Interval Scale Theory written by Michael Pfortmiller and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book After many years of music exploration, particularly when it comes to scales, Binary Interval Scale Theory was born. Examining what scales are and ways to use them, this book will appeal to technical musicians as well as musicians with writer's block looking for a new sound. As scary as it can be putting your voice out in the world, risking criticism of your work by your peers, the author believes strongly that this is a unique visual approach to understanding musical scales with the use of pattern representation. What sets this scale book apart from all the others is its visual circular pattern showing you the pattern each scale makes. Hopefully this gives the music world a new and alternative perspective and a new sound. About the Author As a child, Michael Pfortmiller was a part of Boy Scouts, Police Explorers, extreme in-line skating, and musical experimentation. As an adult he is into musical experimentation, Auto-CAD CAM & CNC work that is a hobby and profession, billiards, and pool. Pfortmiller is also interested in research of science, history, psychology, philosophy, religions, sacred geometry, the paranormal, UFOs, and conspiracies. He has an open mind and likes playing with ideas and looking in from different perspectives. He also enjoys shows that are odd, like Tales From the Darkside, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Stranger Things...he could go on.
