The Pythagorean augmented sixth, otherwise known as the pentatone, 59049/32768, is the interval found by stacking five (Pythagorean whole) tones (9/8). The Medieval music theorist Jacobus of Liège described it along with the ditone, tritone, tetratone, and hexatone, and considered the pentatone to be highly discordant.
