It is about four [[2/1|octaves]] and nine [[semitone (interval size measure)|semitones]] in size. Used in harmony, it sounds particularly wide: if the base note is F1, the higher note will be about D6. That is for all practical purposes beyond the range of {{w|choral music}}. However, it remains useful in some instrumental solos and ensembles. It can be approached as a stack of three [[3/1]]'s, making [[chord]]s like 1−3−9−27. | ||
