In music, a pitch class (p.c. or pc) is a set of all pitches that are a whole number of octaves apart; for example, the pitch class C consists of the Cs in all octaves.

In summary, pitch classes are groups of pitches related by octave and enharmonic equivalence. A♭ 4, A♭ 3, G♯ 2, etc. are all members of the same pitch class. Example 1. Pitch versus pitch …

A pitch class is the set of all pitches that can have the same name, for example, all the Cs. In themselves, pitch classes do not favor one enharmonic spelling or another, although they can …

Rank-2 pitch space exists in one-to-one correspondence with rank-2 interval space. Rank-2 pitches are made of a pitch letter (i.e. a letter from A to G), some number of accidentals …

When analyzing post-tonal music where assuming octave equivalence and enharmonic equivalence is appropriate, we can use integers to represent pitch class. All C’s and any notes …

Jan 3, 2021 · Let's explore the world of pitch class sets. Note: This post is not optimized for dark mode. Harmonic & Chromatic Circles. There are (at least) two ways we can represent 12 …

A pitch class is the quality of a pitch that stays the same at different octaves. Middle C (C 4), soprano C (C 6), and the C string of a viola (C 3) are all different pitches, but all belong to the …

What is a Pitch Class Set? This is the first in a series of posts introducing pitch class set theory at a very basic level. In this post I'll say a few things about what the theory's for and why it's …

Pitch Classes Pitch class = A category of notes including all possible octaves and enharmonic spellings of a particular pitch. There are only 12 pitch classes. For instance, C, B#, and D o in …

A pitch-class set (pc set) is a group of pitch classes. The standard way of naming a pitch class set is by its normal order: the smallest possible arrangement of pitch classes, in ascending order. …
