Abstract

In the tradition of Western European music, the musical process of tuning tones has undergone various stages. Although fixed and confirmed as such, the pitch oscillates due to natural inertia. The Herz – determined tuning of the reference tone is the most applied in both instrumental and vocal-instrumental music. In these cases we witness the strong relationship between acoustics and solfeggio in auditory and performing domain.
