1.151 harmonics
ES: sonidos del flautín, I: suoni flautati, F: flageolet, sons harmoniques, D: Flageolett-Töne, NL:
?, DK: ?, S: ?, FI: harmoniset äänet, huiluäänet.
The general class of pitches produced by sounding the second or higher harmonic of a tone
producer: string, column of air, and so on.
On stringed instruments, these pitches sound rather flute-like; hence, their name in languages
other than English. They are produced by lightly touching the string at a node for the desired
mode of vibration while it is being bowed or plucked.
For instruments of the violin family, there are two types of harmonics: natural harmonics,
which are those played on the open string; and artificial harmonics, which are produced on
stopped strings.

1.153 hemiola
ES: hemiolia, I: ?, F: ?, D: ?, NL: ?, DK: ?, S: ?, FI: 3/2 -suhde.
[Greek: in Latin, sesquialtera] The ratio 3:2.
Most frequently, a proportion (q.v.) of three notes of equal value in the time normally
occupied by two. The resulting rhythm can be expressed in modern terms as a substitution (for
example) of a bar in 3/2 for one of 6/4, or of a bar in 3/4 for one of 6/8. During the Baroque
era, hemiola is most frequently as a special effect (or affect) at cadences.
For example, this phrase in 6/4 time
