ARITHMETIC OF MUSIC.
Piano Note Vibrations Range From 32
to 4,096 Per Second.
The pitch of a musical tone can be
calculated arithmetically While the
human voice in song is something of
an unknown problem, the notes of a
musical instrument ar^ adjusted ac¬
cording to the number of vibrations
per second made by each note. The
shorter, finer and tenser the piano
string the greater the vibratory speed
and higher the pitch; the longer, coars
er and less tense the string the slower
the vibrations and lower the pitch.
The human ear becomes sensible to
sound when vibrations have a speed of
sixteen per second. As the vibrations
increase the pitch ascends until 3(1.000
are attained, when the result is inaudi
ble. The practical range on the piano
is from 32 vibrations to 4.0!)<>,
Thirty-two vibrations is the number
designated for the note of C. three oc¬
taves below middle C on the piano.
The next C has twice the number of
vibrations—04; the next twice that-
128; the next 250. being middle C.
Doubling again for the ascending oc
taves, the successive C’s vibrate, re
spectively. 512, 1.024. 2.048 and 4.000
times per second. The pitch of the
Intervening notes is regulated propor¬
tionally according to the chromatic
scale.
These figures have not always been
the same. The early instrument mak¬
ers of Europe had many disputes con¬
cerning the measurement of the mu¬
sical strings and pijtes that determined
the pitch.
The A string of the violin gives the
tuning note for orchestras. On the pi¬
ano it is the first A above middle C.
From early times to the middle of the
nineteenth century this pitch note va¬
ried from 377 to 445 vibrations oer sec¬
ond, but 435 proved to be the most ac¬
ceptable pitch.
In close calculations temperature has
some influence, so that some experts
do not advocate striving for greater
accuracy than within five vibrations
for the pitch note.
The celebrated high C of the soprano
voice has a vibration of 1.024. There
is record of a woman. Luerezia Aju
gari, who is vouched for by Mozart to
have reached an octave above, thereby
causing her vocal cords to vibrate at a
speed of 2,048 times per second.—liar

Could You Do Better?
"I was one of a party of four taking
an early dinner at an open air restau
rant In Cologne on the Fourth of July
several years ago,” says a New York
Tribune reader. “We sent a polite re
quest to the orchestra leader to play
‘The Star Spangled Banner’ and were
told that the composition was 'un
known.’ We were surprised aDd vexed
and talked a lot about the song, its
origin, Its beauty, and finally discov
ered that had the bandmaster played It
we—all four of us—could have sung
only ‘la-la’ to the second verse and all
after It”
