How do you calculate Pythagorean tuning?

From a C, we will build a major scale according to the Pythagorean tuning. We first calculate the fifth by multiplying the frequency of C by 3/2 (fifth size): To multiply a number by a fraction we multiply by the numerator (top number) and then divide by the denominator (bottom number). G = 261 x 3 / 2.

Is Pythagorean tuning still used?

History and usage. Because of the wolf interval when using a 12-tone Pythagorean temperament, this tuning is rarely used today, although it is thought to have been widespread.

How did Pythagoras measure frequency?

Both Pythagoras and Ptolemy believed that the intervals between notes in music should be ratios of small integer numbers. This is known as Just Intonation. Pythagoras liked them to derived from octaves (2:1) and perfect fifths (3:2), which is 3-limit tuning.

What intervals did Pythagoras find?

Fundamental intervals

3/2 is the perfect fifth, diapente ("across five"), or sesquialterum. 4/3 is the perfect fourth, diatessaron ("across four"), or sesquitertium. These three intervals and their octave equivalents, such as the perfect eleventh and twelfth, are the only absolute consonances of the Pythagorean system.
