Mass generationIn theoretical physics, a mass generation mechanism is a theory that describes the origin of mass from the most fundamental laws of physics. Physicists have proposed a number of models that advocate different views of the origin of mass. The problem is complicated because the primary role of mass is to mediate gravitational interaction between bodies, and no theory of gravitational interaction reconciles with the currently popular Standard Model of particle physics.
Intonation justeL'intonation juste est un système d'intonation musicale dans lequel, en principe, tous les intervalles, en particulier toutes les consonances, sont justes. Cet idéal est cependant utopique et l'expression « intonation juste » désigne plutôt un système d'intonation vocale ou instrumentale (ou un système d'accordage) combinant des quintes justes et des tierces justes en nombre nécessairement limité.
Key (music)In music theory, the key of a piece is the group of pitches, or scale, that forms the basis of a musical composition in Western classical music, art music, and pop music. Tonality (from "Tonic") or key: Music which uses the notes of a particular scale is said to be "in the key of" that scale or in the tonality of that scale. A particular key features a tonic note and its corresponding chords, also called a tonic or tonic chord, which provides a subjective sense of arrival and rest, and also has a unique relationship to the other pitches of the same key, their corresponding chords, and pitches and chords outside the key.
Cycle des quintesEn théorie de la musique, le cycle des quintes est une représentation géométrique montrant la relation entre les douze degrés de l'échelle chromatique, leurs altérations correspondantes et la tonalité majeure ou mineure associée. Pythagore a fondé les bases de l’harmonique en découvrant que la musique s’articule autour de rapports algébriques. Il a mis en évidence le principe des quintes, grâce auquel on élabore les gammes pythagoriciennes.
