Was the term octave coined after the development of early music theory? It seems to me that the term "octave" refers to these 8 notes within the 12 note system, and was used in retrospect after some music theory was already in the making (during definition and use of the ionian major scale -I know modes weren't defined up until much much later-)
How many notes are in an octave in Indian classical music? Is it 7, 12 . . . Finally, all of the above is just about North Indian or Hindustani classical music South Indian or Carnatic classical music has a different way of dividing the octave into notes In Carnatic music too there are seven notes, 12 swarasthaanas, and 22 shrutis, but Re, Ga, Dha, and Ni are considered to have three versions each, not two
guitar - What do the terms E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 actually mean? - Music . . . But if you want to tell someone the exact octave of a note, you can use the aforementioned numbers So, being thorough, the exact standard tuning of the guitar is the one you mentioned, which is: E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 Αs it has been mentioned in the comments, the guitar music is written one octave above than it's played
sheet music - Is 16va proper notation? - Music: Practice Theory . . . Because pitch measurement systems (linear and logarithmic) are derived from the octave as 2:1, a double octave represented as 16va (16:8 = 2:1) is a notation evolution surpassing music theory symbols based on an outdated, extended modal scale series, like 15ma
theory - Parallel octaves vs doubled octaves - Music: Practice Theory . . . A parallel octave refers only to two consecutive notes! Octave doubling If you have two or more instruments that are intentionally arranged to play the same voice (in unison or) one or more octaves apart, then you have octave doubling, which gives you a fat sound Octave doubling refers to longer passages of music; most likely at least a full
terminology - Why is a doubling of frequency called an octave? - Music . . . Hexatonic (6 notes per octave): common in Western folk music Pentatonic (5 notes per octave): the anhemitonic form (lacking semitones) is common in folk music, especially in Asian music; also known as the "black note" scale Tetratonic (4 notes), tritonic (3 notes), and ditonic (2 notes): generally limited to prehistoric ("primitive") music
notation - Does an accidental apply to all octaves? - Music: Practice . . . The book "Behind Bars: The Definitive Guide to Music Notation", by Elaine Gould (Published Faber Music, 2011) states: An accidental holds good for the duration of a bar It applies only to the pitch at which it is written: each additional octave requires a further accidental (p 78 )
piano - How to know which is a suitable octave? - Music: Practice . . . Also, in some music, an 8 is written at the beginning Above the clef for an octave higher, below for an octave lower Sometimes written as 8vb Guitar music should be written as such, because guitars play an octave lower than the written pitch –
notation - Is there a way to notate octaves for chords? - Music . . . Is there a way to notate this when writing a chord progression out, not just writing music? An example progression in the type of notation I'm using is: C G Am F C G Am F (in this progression I'd want to specify the first C chord as being played with the root note starting in the 4th octave while the second C chord as being played with the root
intervals - Voice leading rule hidden fifths octaves - Music: Practice . . . A hidden octave or hidden fifth is forbidden only if the octave or (perfect) fifth is formed by the Soprano and another voice, and that the Soprano is jumping (i e adjacent notes do not form a second, but is a third or further away) This is because, in such cases, hidden octaves and fifths are too conspicuous
