Major third: Difference between revisions

== In just intonation ==

3-limit intervals in the range of major thirds include the '''Pythagorean major third''' of [[81/64]], about 408 cents in size, which corresponds to the MOS-based interval category of the [[diatonic major third]] and is generated by [[stacking]] four just perfect fifths of [[3/2]], and the '''Pythagorean diminished fourth''' of [[8192/6561]], which is flat of 81/64 by one Pythagorean comma, and is about 384 cents in size.

** There is also a 13-limit '''submajor third''', which is a ratio of [[26/21]], and is about 370 cents.

* The 17-limit '''submajor third''' is a ratio of [[21/17]], and is about 366 cents.
