'''19/1''', the '''19th harmonic''', is the [[harmonic]] past [[18/1]] and before [[20/1]]. It is about four [[~~octave~~]]s and three [[semitone]]s in size. Used in harmony, it sounds particularly wide: if the lower note is C2, the higher note will be about D#6 or Eb6. Think of a soprano and a bass at their extremes. It is however, the basis of [[19-limit]] harmony, as many 19-limit intervals ~~are~~ the difference between this and another harmonic.

'''19/1''', the '''19th harmonic''', is the [[harmonic]] past [[18/1]] and before [[20/1]]. It is about four [[2/1|octaves]] and three [[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 D#6 or Eb6. Think of a soprano and a bass at their extremes. It is however, the basis of [[19-limit]] harmony, as many 19-limit intervals can be expressed as the difference between this and another harmonic.
