| | Wolf interval - encyclopedia article about Wolf interval. |
 | | This interval is known as a diminished Diminution, from Italian diminuimento, is a musical term used to mean different things in the context of melodies and intervals or chords. | | | This interval has serious implications for the various tuning schemes of the chromatic scale, because in western music, 12 perfect fifths and seven octaves are treated as the same interval. | | | Similarly, we obtain nine minor thirds The musical interval of a minor third is the relationship between the first note (the root or tonic) and the third note in a minor scale. |

| | Meantone temperament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | One of the fifths will be a wolf interval, which means it will be so sharp it will not sound at all the same as a perfect fifth, and will not normally be used in music of the common practice period. | | | Since (9/8) / (10/9) = (81/80), the syntonic comma, the fundamental character of a meantone tuning is that all intervals are generated from fifths, and the syntonic comma is tempered to a unison. | | | To the right of each interval is listed the formula for the ratio of the interval. |

| | Definition of Just intonation |
| | Intervals used are then capable of being more consonant, but consonance is not always emphasized or a goal in music written with just intonation, and a great deal of dissonance may be featured in compositions. | | | This eliminates the wolf intervals from the diatonic scale without too much damage to the pure consonances; hence meantone tuning was the primary keyboard tuning used in Western music from about 1480 to 1780. | | | For instance, if you tune a piano to just intonation intervals and a minimum of wolf intervals for the key of G, then only one other key (typically E-flat) can have the same intervals, and many of the keys have a very dissonant and unpleasant sound. |

| | Musical intervals corresponding to the ratios of 4:3 (fourth), 5:3 (sixth), and 6:5 (minor 3rd) were, in time, all found to be pleasing, and as progress was made in the control of pitch, useful for composition. | | | The beating of tempered intervals is audible on the piano. | | | When an interval is tempered, the common overtone is no longer common, and a very important acoustical phenomenon occurs: a phenomenon that is the crux of tonal “color”. |

| | Pythagorean Tuning - More details |
| | As a vertical interval, it is a strong discord which plays a striking role in various two-voice and multi-voice resolutions; as a melodic interval, its rather compact size gives it an expressive quality (see Sections 3.3 above, and 4.2 following). | | | The "well-tempered" tunings of the 18th century place these intervals on a kind of sliding scale of tensions, with differentials ranging in one scheme from 2/11 of a syntonic comma to a full syntonic comma, the modes or keys considered more remote having the greater acoustical tension. | | | This interval is often known as a ditonus cum diapente or major third plus fifth, since it is equal to the sum of these intervals (or the product of their ratios). |

| | Meantone temperament : Quarter comma meantone |
| | One of the fifths will be a wolf interval, that is an interval which is so badly out of tune, it isn't usable. | | | Quarter comma meantone is particularly suitable for music which treats the third as a consonant interval. | | | In practice, this means most western music since the 16th century. |

| | Tuning Digest # 1597, edited by Joe Monzo |
| | Basically, I would say, a "Wolf" interval is an "unusual" interval in a given tuning system and style which is felt not to be freely substitutable for an "expected" variety of the same interval. | | | Another and final point is that a "Wolf" interval as defined in a certain stylistic context is only a significant disadvantage if the interval is likely to be used in actual music for a given instrument. | | | Sometimes it is asserted that "Wolf" intervals are "unusable" or "unplayable," but this judgment is both contextual and often partial: there are often specific sonorities and usages where these intervals are musically useful even in styles where they are generally considered to be "too out-of-tune" for most purposes. |

| | Pythagorean Tuning - Basic concepts |
| | Other intervals can be derived from these, and the result in a medieval context is, by the 13th century, a subtle spectrum of interval tensions in practice and theory. | | | The following table shows how the standard intervals of Pythagorean tuning except the pure unison (1:1) and octave (2:1) are derived primarily from superimposed fifths (3:2), thus having ratios which are powers of 3:2, or secondarily from the differences between these primary intervals and the octave. | | | We show the 13 usual intervals of medieval music from unison to octave as listed by Anonymous I around 1290, and by Jacobus of Liege around 1325. |

| | Understanding Temperaments |
| | They are characterized by having more than one size of good fifths (and thus thirds), by having no wolf intervals to limit modulation (as in the previous temperaments except equal), and by having a more or less orderly progression in the acoustic quality of the triads from near to remote keys, i.e. | | | This wolf fifth is conventionally placed between G# and Eb, but is frequently placed elsewhere, depending on the music to be played (on the harpsichord, a few notes can easily be retuned between pieces). | | | Dissonant intervals will not be considered much here since it seems to matter little whether a dissonant interval is in tune or not. |

| | (This interval, logically, spans five notes of the musical scale, say from C to G.) The other harmonious ratio was 4:3, which resulted in the perfect fourth: the interval from C to F. Pythagoras, of course, was not primarily a music theorist. | | | But the intervals are not supposed to sound "right." They are supposed to sound sublime. | | | But this music had not yet achieved anything like the Baroque era's sophisticated counterpoint: the fundamental harmonies continued to be based on the octave, the fifth, and the fourth — the "perfect" intervals, which were believed to emulate the choirs of heaven. |

| | The Ultimate Musical tuning - American History Information Guide and Reference |
| | It is impossible to tune the twelve-note chromatic scale so that all intervals are "perfect"; many different methods with their own various compromises have thus been put forward. | | | Because of this, well temperaments have no wolf intervals. | | | It must be realized however, that just as many people who play music today in equal temperament without having heard of it, many musicians throughout the world and the past used just intonation without "knowing" it. |

| | The method tunes using the interval of the 5th, formed by the simplest ratio 3/2 (702 cents). | | | This gap is known as the Pythagorean Comma and shows up in our circle of 5ths where one of the intervals G# to Eb, has to be 24 cents narrower. | | | Looked at another way, the Pythagorean Eb forms a pure 5th in Eb-Bb but is 24 cents flat of the note D# we would desire for the pure 5th G#-D#. |

| | This created some very wild intervals and the howling sound resulted in them being called "wolves or the Wolf interval" If a series of fifths is tuned from bottom A when top A is reached it will be a quarter of a semitone sharp if all tuned precisely and this is called "The Pythagorean Comma".. | | | About the 13th or 14th Century, keyboards were made of natural modes then being the basis of music. | | | The interval of the augmented for B to be, was considered discordant, so B was lowered bringing in an extra short note, this then gave five accidentals, B flat was probably followed by F sharp, E flat, C sharp, G sharp. |

| | Meantone Tuning |
| | A further drawback is that the human ear is more sensitive to poorly tuned 5ths than it is to 3rds and making the 3rds perfect, at the expense of a 5.5 cent reduction in the interval of the 5th is not the best compromise. | | | One drawback, however is that the wolf, which was -24 cents in Pythagorean Tuning has worsened to 35 cents in 1/4 comma Meantone. | | | However, 1/8 comma Meantone is considered 'well-tempered' since the wolf is less than 10 cents, though the 3rds are too active for Renaissance and Baroque music. |
