The '''Pythagorean major third''', '''81/64''' | The '''Pythagorean major third''', '''81/64''' may be reached by stacking four perfect fifths ([[3/2]]), and reducing by two [[octave]]s. It is also known as the '''ditone''', as it may be reached by stacking two (Pythagorean whole) [[tone]]s ([[9/8]]). In contrast to the more typical [[5/4]]—with which it is conflated in [[meantone]]—this interval is a bit more discordant on its own, with a [[harmonic entropy]] level somewhere between that of [[9/8]] and that of [[8/7]]. Thus, some would argue that it is functionally an imperfect dissonance. | ||
