> when making chords Even nonmusical people can almost always tell that, for example, 110 Hz, 220 Hz, 440 Hz, 880 Hz etc. sound like the same note. So if you take an A major chord: A (220.00 Hz), C# (277.18 Hz), E (329.63 Hz)
and then switch to C# (277.18 Hz), E (329.63 Hz), A (440.00 Hz)
or also E (329.63 Hz), A (440.00 Hz), C# (554.37 Hz)
and also something like A (110.00 Hz), A (220.00 Hx), E (329.63 Hz), A (440.00 Hz), C# (554.37 Hz)
it makes pretty much no difference. People will hear and feel it as the same chord, the same notes, the same musical meaning.There are some nuances in color, especially about which note is the lowest. And other concerns, like at which frequency ranges the other instruments (or your other hand on a piano) are playing at the same time, and if you want to spread out to avoid the others, or make the frequencies more crowded to put more emphasis. And also purely mechanistic concerns, how you are able to reach the notes with your fingers, for example, on guitar fretboard or piano keyboard. |
