picture info	Pythagorean Interval In musical tuning theory, a Pythagorean interval is a musical interval with a Interval ratio, frequency ratio equal to a Exponentiation, power of two divided by a power of three, or vice versa.Benson, Donald C. (2003). ''A Smoother Pebble: Mathematical Explorations'', p.56. . "The frequency ratio of every Pythagorean interval is a ratio between a power of two and a power of three...confirming the Pythagorean requirements that all intervals be associated with ratios of whole numbers." For instance, the perfect fifth with ratio 3/2 (equivalent to 31/ 21) and the perfect fourth with ratio 4/3 (equivalent to 22/ 31) are Pythagorean intervals. All the intervals between the notes of a scale are Pythagorean if they are tuned using the Pythagorean tuning system. However, some Pythagorean intervals are also used in other tuning systems. For instance, the above-mentioned Pythagorean perfect fifth and fourth are also used in just intonation. Interval table Notice that the terms ''ditone' ...

	Diapason (pipe Organ) A flue pipe (also referred to as a ''labial'' pipe) is an organ pipe that produces sound through the vibration of air molecules, in the same manner as a recorder or a whistle, in a pipe organ. Air under pressure (called ''wind'') is driven through a flue and against a sharp lip called a ''labium'', causing the column of air in the pipe to resonate at a frequency determined by the pipe length (see wind instrument). Thus, there are no moving parts in a flue pipe. This is in contrast to reed pipes, whose sound is driven by beating reeds, as in a clarinet. Stop Flue pipes include all stops of the Principal, Flute, and String classes, and some stops from the Hybrid class. Construction Flue pipes may be metallic or wooden. Metal pipes are usually circular in cross section; wooden pipes are usually square or rectangular, though triangular and round wooden pipes do exist. A flue pipe has two major parts, a foot and a resonator. The ''foot'' is the bottom portion of the pip ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Diapason (magazine) ''Diapason'' is a monthly magazine, published in French by Italian media group Mondadori. The magazine focuses on classical music, especially classical music recordings and hi-fi. The magazine was created by Georges Chérière in Angers, France under the title ''Diapason donne le ton dans l'Ouest'' (''Tuning Fork Sets the Tone in the West'') and the first issue was published in Paris, 1956. The critics of ''Diapason'' review internationally released classical CDs and DVDs each month, and the best ten albums are awarded by the prestigious Diapason d'Or. The award is comparable with those given by the ''BBC Music Magazine'' and '' Gramophone''. ''Diapason'' provides information online via two websites. The principal French language alternative to ''Diapason'' was ''Le Monde de la musique'', but that magazine ceased publication in 2009. Much of its readership then transferred to ''Diapason'', increasing the circulation there. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	The Diapason (magazine) ''The Diapason'' is a magazine serving those who have interest in the organ, church music, harpsichord, and carillon.

picture info	Concert Pitch Concert pitch is the pitch reference to which a group of musical instruments are tuned for a performance. Concert pitch may vary from ensemble to ensemble, and has varied widely over time. The ISO defines international standard pitch as A440, setting 440 Hz as the frequency of the A above middle C. Frequencies of other notes are defined relative to this pitch. The written pitches for transposing instruments do not match those of non-transposing instruments. For example, a written C on a B clarinet or trumpet sounds as a non-transposing instrument's B. The term "concert pitch" is used to refer to the pitch on a non-transposing instrument, to distinguish it from the transposing instrument's written note. The clarinet or trumpet's written C is thus referred to as "concert B". Modern standard concert pitch The A above middle C is often set at the international standard of 440 Hz. Historically, this A has been tuned to a variety of different pitches. History of pitch standards ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
