A '''kleisma''' is an interval of about 8.1 cents, roughly the size of the interval [[15625/15552]], which is called a kleisma in just intonation.\

A '''kleisma''' is an interval of about 8.1 cents, roughly the size of the interval [[15625/15552]], which is called a kleisma in just intonation.

As an interval region, the kleisma is significant as it is a limit of intonational fidelity when playing on some physical instruments. That is, on free-pitch instruments, there is a level of precision to which one can be expected to play a note or interval "correctly": that level of precision is the kleisma.

That is, on free-pitch instruments, there is a level of precision to which one can be expected to play a note or interval "correctly": that level of precision is the kleisma. Another significance is that a lot of commas are about 3-4 kleismas in size.

Kleismas belong to the larger interval region of [[Comma (interval region)|commas]], which are part of the [[Comma and diesis|"comma and diesis"]] category.
