12 planets

Q,
You've even got me confused.

Hmmm...I am a little confused, as well. Snoop--I couldn't make heads nor tails out of the math on the link, but then I am not really that good at math.

I would just like to say that notes and tones are not the same thing. There are actually 8 notes in a "western" octave, but many variations on each (don't forget the double flats and sharps!). But that is what we read, not what we hear. We actually hear 12 distiinct tones (and then thirteen if we "resolve" it--and of course "resolution" could arguably be in the ear of the beholder.)

But there are several different types of scales. Major, Minor, Melodic, Natural, Harmonic, Chromatic, Diatonic, Pentatonic, Hungarian Gypsy, and that's only the start. With advancing technology, we are able to identify tones and frequencies that are not apparent to most human perceptions. Just because we don't hear it doesn't mean it isn't there.

Anywho--now that I have cleared all that up , may I suggest that any missing notes (I can't help it--I just gotta say it--not directed at anyone) are actually out there revolving around Uranus.

InPeace,
InLove

Hi,


"Musical sounds are composed of pitch, duration, and timbre. Pitch is determined by the sound's frequency of vibration, such as the note A which at modern concert pitch is defined to be 440 Hz. Tuning is the process of assigning pitches to notes. The difference in pitch between two notes is called an interval. The most basic interval is the octave; a note and another note with twice its frequency form an octave, and if the pitch with frequency 440 Hz is A, then the pitches with frequency 880 Hz, 1760 Hz as well as 220 Hz, 110 Hz, and 55 Hz are also A's. Notes can be arranged into different scales and modes. Diatonic notes of a scale may be considered avoid tones. In western music theory, the octave is divided into 12 notes, each called a half-step or semitone."

but please no more references to Uranus!!!

Seems I'm hearing some low octave overtones of an F flat vibrato.....

Uranus is a gaseous planet is it not?

Every Good Boy Does Fine and I love to look at your FACE. There are sharps with every note but flats with only seven. Which note has no flat?

E G B D F A C E.

Come on sir, I was taught this in first grade. You know this.

Well, we can talk about the differences between even temperament and mean temperament, and the wolf.

Here's the math and science behind it, to keep it in tune with the Science and the Universe Forum.

I was always under the impression that the order of sharps was FCGDAEB, and the order of flats was just the reverse BEADGCF.

C has no flat.

Hi,

No wonder my music collection is so awful!

Q--you are correct if you are referring to a C major scale. But C flat does exist in other keys.

Josh,
Yes, I know the key of C has no flats, but in reference to your flats and sharps post, what's the 8th sharp?

I hate farts too. and Yep, and with the Methane in the atmosphere, it gets its red brown look. Though it is mostly hydrogen and helium.

oops...C flat? (B sharp) At least on a Clarinet? Ok, I'll just crawl into my hole now...

Holes don't exist.
