What is harmonic 4th?
The fourth harmonic vibrates at four times the frequency of the fundamental and sounds a perfect fourth above the third harmonic (two octaves above the fundamental). Double the harmonic number means double the frequency (which sounds an octave higher).
What is a perfect 4th interval?
The perfect fourth interval consists of two notes with five steps distance. For example, C to F note will result in this musical interval. The perfect fourth include one more semi-step compared to the major third (M3) and two semi-steps less compared to the perfect fifth (P5).
What is the harmonic interval?
A harmonic interval is what you get when you play two notes at the same time. A melodic interval is what you get when you play two notes separately in time, one after the other.
What is a 3rd harmonic interval?
A harmonic interval occurs when two notes are played at the same time. ... For example, taking C as the tonic (the "1" or the first degree of the scale), then the third degree of the C major scale is E, so the interval between C and E is called a major third.
