Diaschisma: Difference between revisions

'''2048/2025''', the '''diaschisma''', an interval of 19.553 [[cent|cents]], is the difference between four perfect fifths plus two major thirds and three octaves. Tempering it out leads to the [[diaschismic family]] of temperaments. It may also be defined as the difference between a Pythagorean minor seventh ([[16/9]]) and a just augmented sixth ([[225/128]]), as the difference between two classic diatonic semitones ([[16/15]]) and the major whole tone ([[9/8]]), that is, (9/8)/(16/15)², or as the difference between the 5-limit tritone [[45/32]] and its enharmonic equivalent [[64/45]].
