Treizième (musique)
In music or music theory, a thirteenth is the note thirteen scale degrees from the root of a chord and also the interval between the root and the thirteenth. The thirteenth is most commonly major or minor . A thirteenth chord is the stacking of six (major or minor) thirds, the last being above the 11th of an eleventh chord. Thus a thirteenth chord is a tertian (built from thirds) chord containing the interval of a thirteenth, and is an extended chord if it includes the ninth and/or the eleventh.
Superparticular ratio
In mathematics, a superparticular ratio, also called a superparticular number or epimoric ratio, is the ratio of two consecutive integer numbers. More particularly, the ratio takes the form: where n is a positive integer. Thus: A superparticular number is when a great number contains a lesser number, to which it is compared, and at the same time one part of it. For example, when 3 and 2 are compared, they contain 2, plus the 3 has another 1, which is half of two.
Gammes et tempéraments dans la musique occidentale
Dans la musique occidentale, un tempérament est un procédé d'accord (un accordage) des degrés et des intervalles d'une gamme musicale. Le mot gamme désigne le résultat d'un tel procédé (par exemple, la gamme tempérée pour le tempérament égal) ; un usage apparenté du mot « gamme » en fait pratiquement un synonyme d'« échelle musicale », c’est-à-dire une succession de degrés sans prise en compte de leur intonation exacte, mais cette acception ne sera pas considérée ici.
