From: "Just Intonation" I've decided to begin my explorations of just intonation by "translating" some of my previous 12TET compositions and tone rows (I'm a proponent of what I call "neo-serialism") into just scales, so I thought I'd better make sure I'm calling all the intervals by the right names, and have the correct just equivalent intervals and cents values. So, I thought I'd better run my little interval table by you all, in case I made any mistakes: 12TET Just Semitones Ratio Common Name Cents Value 7 3/2 Perfect Fifth 701.96 5 4/3 Perfect Fourth 498.04 8 8/5 Minor Sixth 813.69 4 5/4 Major Third 386.31 9 5/3 Major Sixth 884.36 3 6/5 Minor Third 315.64 10 16/9 Minor Seventh 2 9/8 Major Second 11 15/8 Major Seventh 1 16/15 Minor Second 6 45/32 Tritone 600.0 Please let me know if I made any mistakes, or if you have some of the missing cents values. Thanks. Bill Flavell ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
