Micro-intervals
Tiny pitch differences spark a revolution beyond Western music's rigid scales
9 days ago
0
Why do micro-intervals present challenges to traditional Western music theory and performance?
Because they are exactly the same as semitones but named differently in other cultures.
Because they are smaller than semitones and require new tuning, instruments, and notation beyond the 12-tone system.
Because Western music already uses micro-intervals extensively, so there is no real challenge.

Quarter Tone Flat Minor Seventh Chord
Quarter tones split semitones to create unique microtonal minor seventh chords with 24 distinct pitches

How does lowering the minor seventh by a quarter tone affect the sound of a minor seventh chord?
It raises the minor seventh to a major seventh, changing the chord quality to major seventh.
It has no audible effect because quarter tones are too small to be perceived.
It creates a pitch between the standard minor seventh and the note a semitone lower, producing a unique microtonal effect.

How does microtonal music differ fundamentally from traditional Western music tuning?
It uses only the standard twelve semitones but in a different order.
It uses intervals smaller than the semitones of the twelve-tone equal temperament system.
It avoids using any intervals smaller than a whole tone.
