Salter, Lewis S. AMERICAN MUSIC TEACHER, Vol. 3(March-April, 1954), pp. 1,18-19.This article presents a somewhat humerous discussion of aninaccurate number often cited in music. The author explains (bycomputing in three different ways) that the Pythagorean comma,the interval by which the twelfth fifth above a given tone failsto coincide with the seventh octave above the same tone, measurescloser to 23 cents (a unit for measuring intervals) than to 24cents as generally cited. Extensive use of logarithms is used inthe article. It is helpful if the reader is quite familiar withthe construction of scales.RATIO & PROPORTION REVISITED. Shulte, Albert, et al.
