Intervals
An interval is the difference in pitch between two tones, taking its name from the number
of letters it includes. Thus, from C to C is a prime, C to D, a second, etc. The following table shows the intervals as far as tenths, larger intervals usually being reck- oned as the same letters were in the first octave, an eleventh being reckoned as a fourth, etc. More extended work on the intervals at this stag-e is not deemed necessary, since the various in- tervals are constantly occurring in the Studies and Pieces. It is suggested that the intervals be memor- ized, and that it be borne in mind that they are named in the same manner, regardless of what letters are used. To illustrate this, the interval from E up to C is a sixth, the same as from C to A, as shown in the Example. |
