'''5/1''', the '''5th harmonic''', '''pentave''' or '''quintuple''', is the [[harmonic]] past [[4/1]] and before [[6/1]]. It is two [[octave]]s above [[5/4]]. | '''5/1''', the '''5th harmonic''', '''pentave''' or '''quintuple''', is the [[harmonic]] past [[4/1]] and before [[6/1]]. It is two [[octave]]s above [[5/4]], and is the basis of [[5-limit]] harmony, as many 5-limit intervals can be expressed as the difference between this and another harmonic. | ||
