| This is an imported revision from Wikispaces. The revision metadata is included below for reference:<br>
| | A '''pitch class''' is a set (equivalence class) of all pitches that are a whole number of [[octave]]s (2/1) apart, e.g., the pitch class C consists of the Cs in all octaves. Thus the pitch class "C" is the set |

| | In terms of frequencies expressed in [[Hertz]], assuming a base frequency for middle C of 262 Hz, this would be {…, 65.5, 131, 262, 524, 1028, …}. In terms of [[MIDI]] note numbers, we can write it as {…, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, …}. |

| | In a [[nonoctave]] xenharmonic system, an interval other than the octave might be used to define [[equivalence]]. For example, in [[Bohlen–Pierce]] tuning and other [[edt|equal divisions per tritave]], all pitches separated by a whole number of tritaves (3/1) may be considered equivalent. |
