Tuning, Intonation, and Dynamics

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Tuning and intonation deal with the transformation of pitch symbols to frequency, while dynamics does so with the symbols of loudness that are transformed to sound pressure. Mathematically speaking, both transformations behave similarly to the situation with tempo. However, the conditions for tuning and intonation are much more complex than for tempo with regard to the semantics of pitch symbols. The dynamical situation is by far more simple, and we therefore have included this topic in the present chapter.
