Example Question #1 : Medieval Music (476 1400)
How many notes are in a traditional Western octave?
Possible Answers:
Eight
Five
Twelve
Ten
Seven
Correct answer:
Eight
Explanation:
The octave is the interval between a musical note and that of half or double its frequency. The octave is one of the natural elements of music, with two different notes producing the exact same pitch. In the Western tradition, while there are twelve chromatic, or precise half-interval, steps, the actual notation of each scale is on eight notes of differing spaces.
