  2. Harmonic series (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

    Rather than perceiving the individual partials–harmonic and inharmonic, of a musical tone, humans perceive them together as a tone color or timbre, and the overall pitch is heard as the fundamental of the harmonic series being experienced. If a sound is heard that is made up of even just a few simultaneous sine tones, and if the intervals ...

    The 11th harmonic is notated with the arrow notation for a demisharp (F↑ as opposed to F) while the 7th, 13th, 17th and 19th are labeled with harmonic flats and harmonic sharps relative to C (because the 17th and 19th harmonics are closer to equal temperament than the (unlabeled) 5th, labeling of those is seldom necessary).

  4. Tritone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritone

    Since the perfect 11th (i.e. an octave plus perfect fourth) is typically perceived as a dissonance requiring a resolution to a major or minor 10th, chords that expand to the 11th or beyond typically raise the 11th a semitone (thus giving us an augmented or sharp 11th, or an octave plus a tritone from the root of the chord) and present it in ...

  5. Harmonic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic

    In physics, acoustics, and telecommunications, a harmonic is a sinusoidal wave with a frequency that is a positive integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of a periodic signal. The fundamental frequency is also called the 1st harmonic; the other harmonics are known as higher harmonics.

  7. Ohm's acoustic law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_acoustic_law

    Ohm's acoustic law, sometimes called the acoustic phase law or simply Ohm's law, states that a musical sound is perceived by the ear as a set of a number of constituent pure harmonic tones. [1] [2] The law was proposed by physicist Georg Ohm in 1843. [3]

  8. Eleventh chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleventh_chord

    Fourth factor (F), in red, of a C suspended fourth chord, C sus4 (play ⓘ).. The fourth degree is octave equivalent to the eleventh. The dominant eleventh chord could be alternatively notated as the very unorthodox ninth added fourth chord (C 9add4), from where omitting the 3rd produces the more common ninth suspended fourth chord (C 9sus4, also known as the jazz sus chord).

  9. Eleventh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleventh

    In music theory, an eleventh is a compound interval consisting of an octave plus a fourth.. A perfect eleventh spans 17 and the augmented eleventh 18 semitones, or 10 steps in a diatonic scale.
