An '''uprooted''' | An '''uprooted interval''' is in the context of [[octave equivalence]] a [[rational interval]] under a power of 2, i.e. of the form <math>2^n/x</math> for any positive integer ''x'' and nonnegative integer ''n''. | ||
Analysing an uprooted interval requires us to think in terms of subharmonic timbre, where the [[virtual fundamental]] would be of the same pitch as the treble, or whole octaves above the treble. In other words, the virtual fundamental would be in the same [[pitch class]] as the treble. This gives uprooted intervals the distinct characteristic of securing its own treble than suggesting other pitch classes. | |||
