14/13: Difference between revisions
Carmen14edo (talk | contribs) m I remember people talking about possible names for this interval months back and multiple people agreed on the "coffee interval" so I wanted it to catch on. I hope this edit is ok, considering that's the first agreed-upon nickname for this interval to my knowledge. |
m add another name for this interval category |

'''14/13''', the '''2/3-tone''' or '''trienthird''' (one-third third), nicknamed the '''coffee interval''', is a somewhat exotic 13-limit interval measuring about 128.3¢, which is almost exactly 1/3 of a [[5/4]] major third- a stack of three trienthirds falling short of a 5/4 major third by a [[10985/10976|cantonisma]]. | '''14/13''', the '''2/3-tone''' or '''trienthird''' (one-third third), nicknamed the '''coffee interval''', is a somewhat exotic 13-limit interval measuring about 128.3¢, which is almost exactly 1/3 of a [[5/4]] major third- a stack of three trienthirds falling short of a 5/4 major third by a [[10985/10976|cantonisma]]. | ||
The trienthird was a favorite interval of [[Wikipedia:Avicenna|Avicenna]] (Ibn Sina) for his scale constructions, and may be considered a smaller size of neutral second (a second between major and minor). | The trienthird was a favorite interval of [[Wikipedia:Avicenna|Avicenna]] (Ibn Sina) for his scale constructions, and may be considered a smaller size of neutral second (a second between major and minor). Thus intervals close in size to it have been called ''sinaics''. | ||
In [[13-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], 14/13 represents the difference in size between the tridecimal minor third of [[13/11]] and undecimal major third of [[14/11]]. It is also the difference between [[13/10]] and [[7/5]]; [[13/12]] and [[7/6]]; [[13/9]] and [[14/9]], and of course [[13/8]] and [[7/4]] and the inversions of the above. As it combines the primes 7 and 13, it appears in JI subgroup tunings involving those primes. | In [[13-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], 14/13 represents the difference in size between the tridecimal minor third of [[13/11]] and undecimal major third of [[14/11]].
