	Pitch (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pitch is something perceived by the human ear, as opposed to frequency, the physical measurement of vibration.
		Pitches may be described in various ways, including high or low, as discrete or indiscrete, pitch that changes with time (chirping) and the manner in which this change with time occurs: gliding; portamento; or vibrato, and as determinate or indeterminate.
		Pitches are named with integers because of octave and enharmonic equivalency (for example, C# and Db are the same pitch while C4 and C5 are functionally the same, one octave apart).

		Pitches may be described in various ways, including high or low, as discrete or indiscrete, gliding or portamento, and as determinate or indeterminate.
		Pitch is often measured by frequency or wavelength, but is most often discussed either through notation and the accompanying letter labels (C#).
		In atonal, twelve tone, or set theory a "pitch" is a specific frequency while a pitch class is all the octaves of a frequency.

	Pitch and Timbre: Definition, Meaning and Use
		The pitch of periodically interrupted noise (Miller and Taylor 1948), the (missing fundamental) pitch of temporally sequential successive harmonics (Hall and Peters 1981), and binaural edge pitch (Klein and Hartmann 1981) were all identified and measured by means of discrimination or matching experiments, where only ordinal properties of the sensation play a role.
		Although pitch space is a continuum, it is, at least in Western music, treated as a collection of steps, where pitch intervals correspond to certain well-defined frequency ratios.
		In speech, a pitch contour is a rather continuous melody-like pattern that is evoked by vowels and voiced consonants, and is directly related to the vibration rate of the vocal cords.

		The perception of pitch and the idea of a note Pitch is a percept which is related to the frequency of vibrating bodies.
		Pitches which are are octave equivalent are said to be in the same pitch class.
		Tonal space moves beyond the scale and specifies a hierarchy, certain pitches are more important than other pitches and this comes about by the frequency of their use.

		The proposed theory is an expansion of Fred Lerdahl's tonal pitch space model; its purpose is a more accurate description of the situations involved in the analysis of diatonic modal music.
		Apart from the calculation of the pitch and the chordal and regional space algebraic representations, geometrical representations of all three levels of the modal pitch space are also included.
		The described space and the distances that can be measured in it are precompositional ; the functional constraints that may rule displacements in the space are not really considered because they do not belong to the level of the immanent system.

		A pitch is a significant underground vertical space in mining terminology.
		The name is thought to have originated through the description of deep shafts which had bottoms that could not be easily seen as being "pitch-fl".

		In music and music theory a pitch class contains all notes that have the same name; for example, all Es, no matter which octave they are in, are in the same pitch class.
		In music, a register is the relative height or range of a note, set of pitches or pitch classes, melody, part, instrument or group of instruments.
		In music theory, the circle of fifths is a model of pitch space and is the series encompassing all of the notes in the equally tempered chromatic scale.

		Pitch letter names may be specified as follows: a sharp is represented as "#"; a flat is represented as "$"; a quarter sharp is represented as "~"; multiple sharps, quarter sharps, and flats are valid.

	Some Non-Isomorphisms
		M/T space is a rooted tree, and even if we acknowledge Lerdahl's concerns regarding the role of a tonic in generating a tonal space, the root of a rooted tree is not the same as a tonic in tonal space.
		In contrast, changing tempos does change the number of edges and vertices in the graph of tonal space, as well as the relationships amongst them, for example, as higher levels of subdivision that are vertices of degree 3 at slower tempos lose edges (and hence change degree) as the tempo increases.
		We also are reminded of how the topologies of both M/T space and PC space--the metric tree and the tonal tonnetz--arise from the combination of formal relationships among their component elements as well as the way human beings hear and understand those relationships.

		Perhaps the pitch is red, or long, or it is between the space and the noise.

		In music pitch space is pitch relations, ie nearness or farness,represented through geometric models, most often multi dimensional.
		Modulatory space is the pitch space within which modulation ispossible.
		The circle of fifths is one representation of pitch space, firstproposed geometrically (see: Pythagoras) by Johann DavidHeinichen (1728), though he included the relative minor (thus the circle clockwise would read C, a, G, e...) (Lerdahl, 2001).The current major on the outside relative minor on the inside format was proposed by David Kellner (1737).

		If the result of the question you describe is that the subjects are saying that the English horn is higher than the oboe on the same pitch then it is a result of the relative range of the instruments.
		Although their registers are closer than those of the male and female voice (only a perfect 5th difference) perhaps with the oboe and English horn the same judgement is made by analogy, since the same pitch will be higher in the range of the English horn than the oboe.

		What in fact Lerdahl goes on to propose is a complementary pitch space that has a reductional rather than a geometric format.
		Levels of pitch space must be sufficiently available from musical surfaces to be internalized.
		A reductionally organized pitch space is needed to express the steps and skips by which cognitive distance is measured and to express degrees of melodic completeness.

		Furthermore, the pitch range and pitch variability used in their speech was more restricted than that of normal speakers.
		When only the pitches of the target words (all the six /si/s) were measured, we found that the pitch range (or the "tonal space") where the six tones fell was also more restricted in PD speech.
		From this study, we know that the size of the tonal space (the pitch range where the tones fall) and the context-target pitch distance (the pitch distance between the precursor sentence and the tone in question) are two factors related to tone language speakers’ ability to understand tone.

	Prosodic Font: Between the Spoken and the Written
		A speaker uses stress, pitch, rate, pauses, voice qualities, and a host of other sound patterns not even vaguely defined to communicate a message as well as attitudes and feelings about what he is saying.
		Stress is a sub-category of prominence, and is the rhythmic counterpart to intonational prominence, the pitch accent.
		She specifies a set of two simple intonational pitch accents, H* (a pitch accent that first rises and then may fall) and L* (a pitch accent that falls and then may rise), that account for the variation in intonational contours with a simple dichotomy.

		Since the starting point and structural unit of this hierarchy is a JI major triad, a P5s/JIM3s pitch space appears as the best possible representation of the hierarchy of the pitch/intervallic relationships of a note with the other 11 semitone categories.
