Longer example sentences

For instance, an augmented third such as C–E spans five semitones, exceeding a major third (C–E) by one semitone, while a diminished third such as C –E spans two semitones, falling short of a minor third (C–E ) by one semitone. (43 words)

For example, in the aforementioned key signature, any note that is not F, C, G, and D is raised by two semitones instead of one, so an A double sharp raises the note A natural to the enharmonic equivalent of B natural. (42 words)

The first valve lowers the instrument's pitch by a whole step (2 semitones ), the second valve by a half step (1 semitone), and the third valve by one-and-a-half steps (3 semitones). (35 words)

Example sentences (20)

For instance, the intervals C–G (spanning 8 semitones) and C –G (spanning 6 semitones) are fifths, like the corresponding natural interval C–G (7 semitones).

For instance, an augmented third such as C–E spans five semitones, exceeding a major third (C–E) by one semitone, while a diminished third such as C –E spans two semitones, falling short of a minor third (C–E ) by one semitone.

For instance, a semiditonus (3 semitones, or about 300 cents) is not half of a ditonus (4 semitones, or about 400 cents), but a ditonus shortened by one semitone.

Interestingly, despite its name, a semiditone (3 semitones, or about 300 cents) can hardly be viewed as half of a ditone (4 semitones, or about 400 cents).

The first valve lowers the instrument's pitch by a whole step (2 semitones ), the second valve by a half step (1 semitone), and the third valve by one-and-a-half steps (3 semitones).

The third valve is long enough to lower the pitch of a BB tuba by three semitones, but it is not long enough to lower the pitch of an A tuba by three semitones.

All these intervals span four semitones.

Conversely, adding a double sharp to any other note not sharped or flatted in the key signature raises the note by two semitones with respect to the chromatic scale.

Advertentie

Critical bandwidth lies between 2 and 3 semitones at high frequencies and becomes larger at lower frequencies.

Due to a different tuning technique, the twelve semitones in this scale have two slightly different sizes.

Example Neither the number, nor the quality of an interval can be determined by counting semitones alone.

For example, in the aforementioned key signature, any note that is not F, C, G, and D is raised by two semitones instead of one, so an A double sharp raises the note A natural to the enharmonic equivalent of B natural.

For example, six of the fifths span seven semitones.

He realized that the 12 semitones of the chromatic scale can lead melodically to any key, breaking some of the confines of simpler jazz soloing.

However, they both span 4 semitones.

Intervals with different names may span the same number of semitones, and may even have the same width.

Most fourths and fifths are also perfect (P4 and P5), with five and seven semitones respectively.

Non-Western scales In Western music, scale notes are often separated by equally tempered tones or semitones, creating 12 notes per octave.

On a modern piano or other equal-tempered instrument, all the semitones have the same size (100 cents ).

Richard Chapman, "The New Complete Guitarist", p. 10 left This tuning is such that neighboring strings are at most 5 semitones apart.
