• CounterpointRelated: Intervals describe both each line’s melodic motion and the vertical relation between voices.

• MelodyRelated: Intervals define the distances between successive notes in a melody.

• Pitch (music)Related: Intervals describe pitch differences without requiring a particular starting note.

• Basso continuoRelated: Figured-bass numbers specify intervals above each bass note.

• Twelve-tone techniqueNarrower topic: A row’s interval sequence helps define its identity and transformations.

• Music theoryBroader topic: Intervals describe the basic pitch relationships used in melodies and chords.

• Vocal harmonyNarrower topic: The intervals between singers’ notes shape each harmony’s sound and stability.

• HarmonyNarrower topic: Intervals are the basic units whose combinations give harmony its pitch relationships.

• Pentatonic scaleRelated: The pattern of intervals, not merely the number of notes, defines each pentatonic form.

• Modal musicRelated: The arrangement of intervals distinguishes one mode from another.

• Tonal musicNarrower topic: Intervals determine how scale degrees and chord tones relate in tonal music.

• Canon (music)Related: Pitch intervals determine whether an answer reproduces a canon’s melody exactly or at a transposition.

• Musical scaleRelated: The intervals between successive notes give a scale its distinctive pattern.

• Musical tuningNarrower topic: A tuning system specifies the sizes of intervals between its pitches.

• Imitation (music)Related: Imitating voices may preserve or alter the melody’s intervals.

• Close harmonyNarrower topic: The intervals between adjacent parts determine whether their spacing is close.

• Transposing instrumentNarrower topic: A transposing instrument’s written-to-sounding difference is specified as an interval.

• DissonanceNarrower topic: Intervals provide the basic unit for describing two-note dissonances.

• Diatonic scaleNarrower topic: A diatonic scale is defined by the sequence of intervals between its notes.

• Double stopRelated: Each double stop produces an interval whose sound depends on its pitch distance.

• ArpeggioNarrower topic: Intervals determine the pitch relationships between successive arpeggio notes.

• Figured bassNarrower topic: Each figure names an interval counted upward from the written bass note.

• Imitative counterpointRelated: The interval between entries determines whether an imitation preserves or alters the subject's pitch level.

• TritoneNarrower topic: The tritone is one specific interval, defined by its three-tone span.

• Major scaleNarrower topic: Whole and half steps specify the major scale’s characteristic sequence of intervals.

• Musical temperamentNarrower topic: Temperament specifies the precise pitch relationships assigned to intervals.

• AristoxenusNarrower topic: His scale theory describes how intervals combine and how their sizes are perceived.

• Consonance and dissonanceNarrower topic: Consonance and dissonance are commonly discussed as qualities of intervals.

• Major and minorNarrower topic: The modes are distinguished by the sizes of intervals between their scale degrees.

• Gioseffo ZarlinoNarrower topic: Intervals are the basic units underlying Zarlino’s account of consonance.

• AmusiaRelated: Small interval differences can be difficult to detect in congenital amusia.

• Music and mathematicsBroader topic: Intervals turn relationships between pitches into quantities that can be compared and calculated.
