| | Interval (music) |
 | | In music theory, an interval is the distance in pitch between two notes, the lower and higher members of the interval. |
 | | It is important to note that while intervals may be named by their harmonic functions, for instance, a major second, may be described by a ratio, cent, or integer, not every interval described by these more general terms may be described with the harmonic function name. |
 | | Important intervals are those using the lowest integers, such as 1/1, 2/1, 3/2, etc. This method is also often used in theoretical explanations of equal-tempered intervals used in European tonal music which explain their use through their approximation of just intervals. |
