It is about four [[2/1|octaves]] and six [[semitone (interval size measure)|semitones]] in size. Used in harmony, it sounds particularly wide: if the lower note is C2, the higher note will be about F#6 or Gb6. Think of a soprano and a bass at their extremes. It is however, the basis of [[23-limit]] harmony, as many 23-limit intervals can be expressed as the difference between this and another harmonic. | ||
