difference tone

When two notes are played simultaneously, there is a simple rule to calculate the pitch of the difference tone: 'the frequency of the difference tone' equals 'the higher frequency' minus 'the lower frequency'. So the difference of the frequencies of the two sounds will be audible as a third sound: the difference tone.

The difference tone appears when the two tones are not part of a harmonic series (i.e., octaves, fifths, etc.) and have a frequency difference of 20Hz or greater. A difference of less than 20Hz will cause the difference of the two notes to be perceived as a pulse, called beating.

Tone can also be used to describe the gap between notes on a scale. For example, the jump from C to D on the piano is known as a 'tone', whereas the jump from C to C sharp would be a 'semi-tone. There are many different ways tone can be used as a descriptive word in music!

tonal adjective (LANGUAGE) expressing differences in meaning with the use of different intonation (= the sound changes produced by the rise and fall of the voice when speaking) for words that have a similar sound: Non-native speakers trying to learn a tonal language have great difficulty with tone.

In literary terms, tone typically refers to the mood implied by an author's word choice and the way that the text can make a reader feel. The tone an author uses in a piece of writing can evoke any number of emotions and perspectives.

If you play two adjacent strings at the same time and they are tuned perfectly, you can hear a difference tone at a pitch one octave below the lower string. There is not too much more to say about difference frequencies besides the fact that they are real and you can hear them, although they can be rather hard to hear.

A note has many component waves in it whereas a tone is represented by a single wave form. Q. A sound of a single frequency is called a tone.

In literary terms, tone typically refers to the mood implied by an author's word choice and the way that the text can make a reader feel. The tone an author uses in a piece of writing can evoke any number of emotions and perspectives. Tone can also span a wide array of textual styles, from terse to prosaic.

Example: “Despite the civil unrest happening in my city, I believe I can make things better and see real change in my lifetime.”

Tonality has the following features:

1. It uses Major and minor keys.
2. It uses a Functional Harmony.
3. It has a Tonal Centre (i.e. root note)

Tonality is a system of harmony created & used in the Common-Practice Period (that is, in the Baroque, Classical and Romantic Eras of classical music), so from about 1700 to 1900. Tonal harmony is the 'standard' music theory that you learn through your classical music studies.

The tone of any piece of content can be analyzed along 4 dimensions: humor, formality, respectfulness, and enthusiasm.
