Chapter 18, Problem 18.60P
An A-major chord consists of the notes called A, C#, and E. It can be played on a piano by simultaneously striking strings with fundamental frequencies of 440.00 Hz, 554.37 Hz, and 659.26 Hz. The rich consonance of the chord is associated with near equality of the frequencies of some of the higher harmonics of the three tones. Consider the first five harmonics of each string and determine which harmonics show near equality.

- You know that certain musical notes sound good together— harmonious—whereas others do not. This harmony is related to the various harmonics of the notes. The musical notes C (262 Hz) and G (392 Hz) make a pleasantsound when played together; we call this consonance. As shown, the harmonics of the two notes are either far from each other or very close to each other (within a few Hz). This is the key to consonance: harmonics that are spaced either far apart or very close. The close harmonics have a beat frequency of a few Hz that is perceived as pleasant. If the harmonics oftwo notes are close but not too close, the rather high beat frequencybetween the two is quite unpleasant. This is what we hear as dissonance.Exactly how much a difference is maximally dissonant is a matter of opinion, but harmonic separations of 30 or 40 Hz seem to be quite unpleasant for most people.
