Septimal quarter tone


A septimal quarter tone (in music) is an interval with the ratio of 36:35 (About this sound play ), which is the difference between the septimal minor third (About this sound play ) and the Just minor third (About this sound play ), or about 48.77 cents wide. The name derives from the interval being the 7-limit approximation of a quarter tone. The septimal quarter tone can be viewed either as a musical interval in its own right, or as a comma; if it is tempered out in a given tuning system, the distinction between the two different types of minor thirds is lost. The septimal quarter tone may be derived from the harmonic series as the interval between the thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth harmonics.
