The '''Pythagorean augmented fifth''', '''6561/4096''', may be reached by stacking two [[81/64]] intervals. The Medieval music theorist Jacques de Liège referred to it as the '''tetratone''' (akin to the [[ditone]] and [[729/512|tritone]]), as it may be reached by stacking four (Pythagorean whole) [[tone]]s ([[9/8]]). It differs from [[8/5]] by the [[schisma]]. | The '''Pythagorean augmented fifth''', '''6561/4096''', may be reached by stacking two [[81/64]] intervals.
