289. | In [[13-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''13/11''' is '''the tridecimal minor third''' (or '''[[Neo-Gothic]] minor third'''), measuring about 289.2¢. It is the difference between the 11th and 13th [[harmonic]]s. The (octave-reduced) 11th harmonic ([[11/8]], about 551.3¢) and 13th harmonic ([[13/8|13/8]], about 840.5¢) are both quite xenharmonic and demand new interval categories, while 13/11 can be likened unto some kind of relatively complex minor third. It can even function as such in a 13-limit Neo-Gothic minor triad of 22:26:33, with a [[3/2]] perfect fifth between 33 and 22. Compare this to 22:26:32 (11:13:16), which has the much more dissonant [[16/11]] as the outside interval in place of 3/2. The latter triad sounds more like a xenharmonic version of a diminished triad, and could not be confused with simpler diminished triads such as 5:6:7. | ||
[[ | 13/11 is the classic [[mediant|mediant]] between the simpler and more familiar ratios [[6/5]] and [[7/6]], as it can be given as (6+7)/(5+6). This puts in between the latter ratios, slightly closer to 7/6. More complex minor thirds can be generated by taking the mediant between 13/11 and 7/6 (which yields (13+7)/(11+6) = [[20/17|20/17]], the septendecimal subminor third, about 281.4¢) and between 13/11 and 6/5 (which yields (13+6)/(11+5) = [[19/16]], the overtone minor third of [[19-limit]] JI, about 297.5¢).

13/11
In 13-limit just intonation, 13/11 is the tridecimal minor third (or Neo-Gothic minor third), measuring about 289.2¢. It is the difference between the 11th and 13th harmonics. The (octave-reduced) 11th harmonic (11/8, about 551.3¢) and 13th harmonic (13/8, about 840.5¢) are both quite xenharmonic and demand new interval categories, while 13/11 can be likened unto some kind of relatively complex minor third. It can even function as such in a 13-limit Neo-Gothic minor triad of 22:26:33, with a 3/2 perfect fifth between 33 and 22. Compare this to 22:26:32 (11:13:16), which has the much more dissonant 16/11 as the outside interval in place of 3/2. The latter triad sounds more like a xenharmonic version of a diminished triad, and could not be confused with simpler diminished triads such as 5:6:7.
13/11 is the classic mediant between the simpler and more familiar ratios 6/5 and 7/6, as it can be given as (6+7)/(5+6). This puts in between the latter ratios, slightly closer to 7/6. More complex minor thirds can be generated by taking the mediant between 13/11 and 7/6 (which yields (13+7)/(11+6) = 20/17, the septendecimal subminor third, about 281.4¢) and between 13/11 and 6/5 (which yields (13+6)/(11+5) = 19/16, the overtone minor third of 19-limit JI, about 297.5¢).

13/11 is also 352/351 (about 4.9¢) narrower than 32/27, the minor third in Pythagorean (3-limit) tuning.
