Return to gallery lobby: Gallery of just intervals

The following is an exhibit featuring a small, carefully curated collection of [[just intonation] intervals. It is intended to include those few intervals which stand out above the rest as particularly audible or structurally essential.

Criteria for inclusion

The criteria for an interval's inclusion are:

  • The interval must be between 1/1 and 2/1 (inclusive)
  • (To be determined)

If it meets those criteria, it is welcome to be added.
