'''Consonance''' and '''dissonance''' are categorizations of simultaneous or successive sounds.


The term '''sonance''' goes back to Giovanni Battista Benedetti <ref>[http://xtf.lib.virginia.edu/xtf/view?docId=DicHist/uvaBook/tei/DicHist3.xml;chunk.id=dv3-32 http://xtf.lib.virginia.edu/xtf/view?docId=DicHist/uvaBook/tei/DicHist3.xml;chunk.id=dv3-32]</ref>

''Going back to Giovanni Battista Benedetti, an Italian Renaissance mathematician and physicist, sonance can be best described as relative consonance and/or dissonance of a musical interval – a continuum of pitches encompassing consonance on one end, and dissonance on the other (Palisca, 1973).'' <ref>[http://icmpc-escom2012.web.auth.gr/sites/default/files/papers/710_Proc.pdf http://icmpc-escom2012.web.auth.gr/sites/default/files/papers/710_Proc.pdf]</ref>
