The '''Pythagorean augmented sixth''', otherwise known as the '''pentatone''', 59049/32768, is the interval found by stacking five [[9/8|(Pythagorean whole) tones (9/8)]]. It exceeds the [[9/5|classical minor seventh (9/5)]] by a [[schisma]]. The Medieval music theorist {{w|Jacobus of Liège}} described it along with the [[ditone]], [[tritone]], [[tetratone]], and [[hexatone]], and considered the pentatone to be highly discordant.<ref>''Pythagorean Tuning and Medieval Polyphony'', Margo Schulter, 10 June 1998</ref> | The '''Threerish augmented sixth''' or '''Pythagorean augmented sixth''', otherwise known as the '''pentatone''', 59049/32768, is the interval found by stacking five [[9/8|(Pythagorean whole) tones (9/8)]].
