| | Perfect fifth |
| | The musical interval of a perfect fifth is the relationship between the first (the root or tonic) and the fifth in a major scale. | | | The perfect fifth is considered the most consonant interval outside of the unison and octave. | | | The strings on violins violas and cellos all tuned to perfect fifths. |

| | The perfect fifth is also used to finish a piece of music or phrase. | | | The Perfect Fifth(P5), gets its' name because one note of the interval is the fifth note of a major scale (ascending or descending) beginning on the other note of the interval, and is exactly seven semitones higher or lower than the other note. | | | When played harmonically, the Perfect 5th demonstrates tonal focus and harmonic strength based on the lower of the two notes of the interval. |

| | In Medieval music, the perfect fourth was even considered a perfect consonance, as the perfect fifth and the octave. | | | The perfect fourth is considered dissonant in common practice music when not supported by a lower third or fifth (but see below). | | | In more contemporary music, many consider the fourth to always be as consonant as the fifth. |

| | The inversion of a perfect interval is still perfect. | | | This unique interval, which cannot be spelled as a major, minor, or perfect interval, is considered unusually dissonant and unstable (tending to want to resolve to another interval) in Western Music. | | | An interval that is a half-step smaller than a perfect or a minor interval is called diminished. |

| | The perfect fourth is made up of three intervals: two whole-steps, and one half-step, in any permutation. | | | For this reason, in tonal music, the augmented fourth is used very frequently in the first part of a cadence, since its resolution in the second part produces a strong sense of relaxation, hence of rest. | | | The fourth is a musical interval, comprising two tones, four tones apart. |

| | Similarly, in size the semi-diminished intervals are between perfect or minor intervals and diminished intervals. | | | A table for the other consonances, namely perfect fourth, minor sixth, and major sixth, could of course be easily constructed because these three intervals are simply harmonic inversions of the middle three intervals in Table I. The implications of Table I go far beyond the comparison of a few intervals. | | | It may be concluded from Table II that all the familiar intervals of 12-tone equal temperament are present in 31-tone equal temperament and invert harmonically the same way: perfect fifth inverts to perfect fourth, major sixth inverts to minor third, augmented sixth inverts to diminished third, etc. |

| | (A "tone" is the size of a major second, and a "semitone" that of a minor second.) Alternatively, the interval of the tritone may be called an augmented fourth or a diminished fifth, depending on the musical context. | | | The intervals that can be minor or major are so because in the conventional scales and chords they frequently vary between those two qualities or interval sizes. | | | (Besides the second and third, intervals that can be minor or major are the sixth and the seventh.) Some intervals, however, usually do not vary, and are considered to have one default quality or interval size, which is called perfect. |

| | Pythagorean Tuning - More details |
| | One quirk of Pythgorean tuning which we encountered in Section 4.2.2 is the "Wolf" fifth or fourth which results between the extreme notes of our tuning chain in fifths, g#-eb' or eb-g# in a standard scheme with Eb at one end of the chain and G# at the other. | | | While the Pythagorean comma seems to be a "bug," since it limits us to 11 perfect fifths out of 12 per octave, the syntonic comma might more justly be called an artistic feature of Gothic music and tuning: the active and unstable quality of thirds and sixths. | | | In contrast, modes on the final B are generally rejected because of the lack of a perfect fifth above the final. |
