Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hopi Songs
IN the following table of the diatonic scale and intervals, the breadth of the latter, both pure and tempered, is expressed in hundredths of a tempered (piano) semitone, the tempered in parentheses. This is the unit of interval measurement proposed by A. J. Ellis, and called by him the cent. The ratios are those of the vibration numbers of the component tones of the pure intervals.
