  2. Fartlek - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fartlek

    Fartlek is a middle and long-distance runner's training approach developed in the late 1930s by Swedish Olympian Gösta Holmér. [1] It has been described as a relatively unscientific blending of continuous training (e.g., long slow distance training), with its steady pace of moderate-high intensity aerobic intensity, [2] and interval training, with its “spacing of more intense exercise and ...

  3. Audio time stretching and pitch scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_time_stretching_and...

    Slowing down the recording to increase duration also lowers the pitch, while speeding it up for a shorter duration respectively raises the pitch, creating the so-called Chipmunk effect. When resampling audio to a notably lower pitch, it may be preferred that the source audio is of a higher sample rate, as slowing down the playback rate will ...

  4. Interval training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_training

    Interval training is a type of training exercise that involves a series of high-intensity workouts interspersed with rest or break periods. The high-intensity periods are typically at or close to anaerobic exercise, while the recovery periods involve activity of lower intensity. [1]

  5. Microtonality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtonality

    The Italian Renaissance composer and theorist Nicola Vicentino (1511–1576) worked with microtonal intervals and built a keyboard with 36 keys to the octave known as the archicembalo. While theoretically an interpretation of ancient Greek tetrachordal theory, in effect Vicentino presented a circulating system of quarter-comma meantone ...

  6. Interval recognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_recognition

    Some music teachers teach their students relative pitch by having them associate each possible interval with the first interval of a popular song. [1] Such songs are known as "reference songs". [ 2 ] However, others have shown that such familiar-melody associations are quite limited in scope, applicable only to the specific scale-degrees found ...

  7. Absolute threshold of hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold_of_hearing

    In the method of limits, the tester controls the level of the stimuli. Single-interval yes/no paradigm' is used, but there are no catch trials. The trial uses several series of descending and ascending runs. The trial starts with the descending run, where a stimulus is presented at a level well above the expected threshold.

  8. List of pitch intervals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pitch_intervals

    By definition, every interval in a given limit can also be part of a limit of higher order. For instance, a 3-limit unit can also be part of a 5-limit tuning and so on. By sorting the limit columns in the table below, all intervals of a given limit can be brought together (sort backwards by clicking the button twice).
