It is about four [[2/1|octaves]] and two [[semitone (interval size measure)|semitones]] in size. Used in harmony, it sounds particularly wide: if the lower note is C2, the higher note will be about D6. Think of a soprano and a bass at their extremes. Like [[12/1]], it can be approached in various ways of stacking, such as 1–2–3–6–9–18, an alternate sequence of octaves and [[3/2|fifths]]. | ||
