reduced harmonic
[sound info]
The Pythagorean major third, 81/64, may be reached by stacking four perfect fifths (3/2), and reducing by two octaves. In contrast to the more typical 5/4- with which it is conflated in meantone- this interval is a bit more dissonant when not bridged by a stack of 3/2 intervals within in a chord, with a harmonic entropy level somewhere between that of 9/8 and that of 8/7. Thus, some would argue that it is functionally an imperfect dissonance.
