[note 1] [6] In the 19th century book, A Guide to the Scientific Knowledge of Things Familiar , a proverb concerning magpies is recited: "A single magpie in spring, foul weather will bring". The book further explains that this superstition arises from the habits of pairs of magpies to forage together only when the weather is fine.
Thus, for example, 50:49 is a 7-limit interval, but 14:11 is not. For example, the greater just minor seventh, 9:5 (Play ⓘ) is a 5-limit ratio, the harmonic seventh has the ratio 7:4 and is thus a septimal interval. Similarly, the septimal chromatic semitone, 21:20, is a septimal interval as 21÷7=3.
In music theory, limits or harmonic limits are a way of characterizing the harmony found in a piece or genre of music, or the harmonies that can be made using a particular scale. The term limit was introduced by Harry Partch , [ 1 ] who used it to give an upper bound on the complexity of harmony; hence the name.
For 12 tone equally-tempered tuning, the fifths have to be tempered by considerably less than a 1 / 4 comma (very close to a 1 / 11 syntonic comma, or a 1 / 12 Pythagorean comma), since they must form a perfect cycle, with no gap at the end, whereas 1 / 4 comma meantone tuning, as mentioned above, has a residual ...
Like its predecessor, the GTC4Lusso is a 3-door shooting brake with an all-wheel drive drivetrain, and is powered by a front-mid mounted V12 engine.. The GTC4Lusso's 6,262 cc (382.1 cu in) Ferrari F140 65° V12 engine is rated at 690 PS (507 kW; 681 hp) at 8,000 rpm and 697 N⋅m (514 lb⋅ft) of torque at 5,750rpm. [2]

According to John Fogerty, he began working on "Keep On Chooglin'" (as well as "Born on the Bayou" and "Proud Mary," which also appeared on Bayou Country) during his time in the US Army Reserves. [1] He continued working on those songs after his discharge and throughout most of 1968, during which time he came up with the idea to cross-reference ...
In mathematics, the Stolarsky mean is a generalization of the logarithmic mean. It was introduced by Kenneth B. Stolarsky in 1975. [1] Definition
