| | Pitch (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pitch is often cited as one of the fundamental aspects of music. | | | Until the 19th century, there was no concerted effort to standardize musical pitch and the levels across Europe varied widely. | | | The most vocal opponents of the upward tendency in pitch were singers, who complained that it was putting a strain on their voices. |

| | This indicates that they have encoded in memory the absolute pitch information of this song." He maintains that if a non-musician can sing "Hotel California" on demand that is just as convincing as being able to sing an F-sharp on demand, that "it's only their labels (or mental codes) that differ". | | | The Rev. Sir Frederick Ouseley (1825-1889), Professor of Music at Oxford University, while attending a philharmonic concert at the age of eight, contended the Mozart's Symphony in G Minor to which he was listening was actually being performed in A-flat minor. | | | Levitin, D.J., "Absolute memory for musical pitch: Evidence from the production of learned melodies", Perception and Psychophysics, 56,414-423 (1994). |

| | In most cases concert pitch is what was used when the stringing scale was designed for your piano. | | | A piano that is below concert pitch, may be tuned to itself, but tends to sound lifeless with dull tone color and lack of ambiance. | | | Pianos sound their best when tuned to the concert pitch of A440. |

| | History of Pitch - Tuning Forks A440 C523.3 |
| | Here is a full list of the theoretical frequencies for all the notes on a piano tuned to A440: theoretical frequencies. | | | Pitches have risen a little, particularly in Eastern European countries, which often wish pianos to be tuned to A 444 or even a bit above. | | | This is to keep the pianos stable, as constantly raising and lowering the pitch is not good for the piano; it makes it hard for the piano tuner to make the tuning stable. |

| | Music and Your Health - LILIPOH music therapy article |
| | Since 1939 the standard for the concert A in the United States, and thereby concert pitch, has been 440 Hz, or 440 vibrations per second, and 440 Hz is the most widely accepted industry standard throughout the world when one looks to musical instrument designs. | | | A closer look shows that the very high numbers tend to reflect "Church tunings" (the idea being that the higher the frequency, the closer to God and to the Heavens the music would be). | | | The following chart shows samples of concert pitch from the sixteenth century to now. |

| | History of Musical Pitch |
| | The label advocating A=440 in the Streicher piano built in 1839 indicates that Streicher supported the establishment of a pitch standard and that he was up to date with the latest developments in musical acoustics. | | | Obviously, the musical result of playing harpsichord and early piano music at A=440 is considerably different from the less brilliant low pitch the composers originally intended. | | | Recently all of Mozart's symphonies and piano concertos and the piano concertos of Beethoven have been recorded using period instruments.1 Performers in early music ensembles will never consider using A=440 as a pitch standard because music written before 1830 sounds closer to the composer's original intentions when performed at low pitch. |

| | Piano Questions and Answers. |
| | Assuming that the piano is in tune with itself the whole piano is "at concert pitch." | | | When a piano is tuned "one semitone down" you cannot use it to accompany other instruments unless you transpose all the piano music back up a semitone (which is a feat done only by rare musicians!). | | | Pianos used for concerts are usually tuned before each concert and often during the intermission as well! |

A non-transposing instrument like the piano plays a note that is the true sound of the note written on the sheet of music. |

| | Tonight's concert must be called world-historic on several counts: It is the first purely instrumental concert in the U.S. for the movement to return to the tuning used by the classical composers for their music--a middle C set at 256 Hz--which has gained hundreds of adherents among musicians internationally. | | | Brainin's June concert in Washington, sponsored by the Schiller Institute, will be the first purely instrumental concert in the U.S. for the movement to set the International Standard Pitch at Middle C-256 (which gives an A of about 432 Hz), which has gained hundreds of prominent signators among musicians internationally. | | | Brainin and his quartet performed more than 4,000 concerts in all parts of the world, especially in Western Europe and the United States, recorded all classical masterpieces many times, and were awarded countless honors, including the Order of the British Empire and the Bundesverdienstkreuz, the highest order of the Federal Republic of Germany. |

| | Concert pitch |
| | Instruments in a band or orchestra tune to the concert pitch which is typically the universal standard A' = 440 Hz. | | | While concert pitch is non- transposing, a variety of wind instruments, such as the trumpet, clarinet, and horn are transposing instruments, indicating that the pitch A', as relating to that instrument, will not be sounded as an A' concert pitch but rather a pitch called an A' on that instrument. | | | Thus, when a B-flat trumpet plays an A' (first and second valves), the instrument is actually sounding a G' concert pitch. |

| | Flat Sets - “Vive La Difference !” |
| | Fortunately for those who appreciate traditional Irish music, nobody has yet successfully grafted Boehm system keywork onto the Irish pipes and despite the widespread availability of Boehm system flutes, simple system flutes of a type made from about the 1830's to the 1860's are still the flutes of choice for this music. | | | Most of these are built to play at or near modern concert pitch with lowest or key note D, hence their title. | | | This points out that many of the earlier narrow bore chanters were also "concert pitch" and some of the later wider ones were not. |

| | For example, if your band director wants to hear a B-flat major scale in concert pitch, you will play your F major scale. | | | A C major concert pitch scale will be your G major scale. | | | To figure out what scale you will play when your band director asks for a concert pitch scale, simply think of the note a 4th below (or a 5th above) the pitch that is asked for. |
