Scientific pitch, also known as philosophical pitch, Sauveur pitch or Verdi tuning, is an absolute concert pitch standard which is based on middle C (C 4) being set to 256 Hz rather than approximately 261.63 Hz, [1] making it approximately 31.77 cents lower than the common A440 pitch standard.
Concert pitch rose further in the 19th century, evidenced by tuning forks of that era in France. The pipe organ tuning fork in Versailles Chapel from 1795 is 390 Hz, [7] an 1810 Paris Opera tuning fork sounds at A = 423 Hz, an 1822 fork gives A = 432 Hz, and an 1855 fork gives A = 449 Hz. [8]
The Classical pitch can be set to either 427 Hz (about halfway between A415 and A440) or 430 Hz (also between A415 and A440 but slightly sharper than the quarter tone). And ensembles specializing in authentic performance set the A above middle C to 432 Hz or 435 Hz when performing repertoire from the Romantic era.
A440 (also known as Stuttgart pitch [1]) is the musical pitch corresponding to an audio frequency of 440 Hz, which serves as a tuning standard for the musical note of A above middle C, or A 4 in scientific pitch notation.
Then why would you write that 432 Hz music has a positive effect on well-being and sleep quality as compared to 440 Hz music? You did not limit yourself to physiological observations. Regarding the Calamassi–Pomponi references, these two people are husband–wife advocates of 432 Hz.
The information in the specific section Concert_pitch#Controversial_claims_for_432_Hz first redirected to was not a good representation of the subject. 432 Hz is not only a controversial claim, but also has uncontroversial historical use. Much more info on explicitly 432 Hz exist in both articles Concert pitch and Scientific pitch.

An octave is the interval between one musical pitch and another with double or half its frequency.For example, if one note has a frequency of 440 Hz, the note one octave above is at 880 Hz, and the note one octave below is at 220 Hz.
