As is common with these sorts of questions, there's a lot of speculation in various answers. But, if the question is at least historically why C is the central note of the modern musical scale system, there's one specific and rather clear origin point: Gioseffo Zarlino's Dimostrationi harmoniche of 1571.
Feb 27, 2016 · Sol-fa represents a major scale, with Do being the first note, Re being the second, and so on. I'm sure you can sing that scale. The A-G note names are absolute names for a certain note. An 'A' is an 'A' no matter what key you are performing in. There are two variants of sol-fa. Fixed do and Movable do.
Sep 4, 2014 · The very simplest answer is that A is 440Hz (* 2^n, as you say) and that C is a minor third higher than that (523.251 Hz). However, the mapping of absolute pitches to note names is only a convention, and in reality the absolute pitch of C only needs to be agreed between the people performing a piece of music. When I pick up my guitar, for me C ...
Jun 5, 2015 · So for instance in the key C Major the Super Tonic chord with its seventh will have the notes D-F-A-C No the C is the seventh note it needs to be lowered to resolve. So it goes to the B (Leading Tone) Which in turn needs to resolve back up to the tonic. That gives you the chord progression of ii-V-I (Sometimes ii-V-vi)
That said, here are some circumstances in which "high (note name) and low (note name)" are used often: Scales or other phrases which are played at a range where an octave separates two notes. Certain instruments where the range is around two octaves will refer to a note as "high" or "low" to contrast it with the other note sharing its name.
May 6, 2014 · If you are on a lower note, n is negative. fn = the frequency of the note n half steps away. a = (2)1/12 = the twelth root of 2 = the number which when multiplied by itself 12 times equals 2 = 1.059463094359... The wavelength of the sound for the notes is found from Wn = c/fn where W is the wavelength and c is the speed of sound.
6. Today I found I really wanted a C harmonic to end a tune nicely. So we have E, B, G, D, A notes at 12th/5th fret. Then we get G#, C#, F#, B, D# at 4th/10th fret (I just remember them as the major 3rds of the open strings, plus an octave). Then somewhere slightly in front of the 3rd fret, we have some nice 5ths of the open strings.
I believe the X before a note means you play a double sharp. This, in C Major key, if it is placed before b note,one half tone up takes the note to C. But you need to play an extra sharp (or half tone up), so you'd play C# because the Major scale pattern is: Tone,Tone, Tone, Semi Tone, Tone, Tone, Semi tone, tone (adding up to 8 notes of this ...
Jun 21, 2011 · "Note" could be the same as that last definition of "Tone". Or it could be one of those marks sitting among the 5 lines of a musical stave. "Pitch" at least is fairly unambiguous. It refers to the frequency of the note, normally described by musicians by letter-names A,B,C etc, plus sharps and flats.
Mar 30, 2018 · The C in between the treble and bass clefs is middle C; the C in the middle of the treble clef is Treble C; the C in the middle of the bass clef is Bass C. There C on ledger lines above the treble clef is High C, the one below the bass clef is Low C. This gets 5 octaves which works well for voice and most instruments, especially in early levels.
