The Pythagorean augmented fifth, 6561/4096, may be reached by stacking two 81/64 intervals. The Medieval music theorist Jacques de Liège referred to it as the tetratone (akin to the ditone and tritone), as it may be reached by stacking four (Pythagorean whole) tones (9/8). It differs from 8/5 by the schisma, and from 3/2 by the apotome.
