INTERVAL. 



A Table of the Mufical Intervals v,-ith their Meafwre's-. 



The limma, apotome, trihemito'ne, ditonus, femidiapente, 

 and tritonuSjinientioned in tliis table, by the naihes of liVnma, 

 apotome, Scci of the Gr^ek fcale, are fuch as are either men. 

 tioned by the ancients, oit. allc-sfr occur in; ihei!* fcale, where 

 fburtlis are divided into two tones and a linimB, and *here 

 the odave cdnHfted of five tones and two limnias. 



The term ri-ilundant, in "lEs table, -is- applied to fuch

 Ihort ©f tJ»e tr*rth-by a- life* qwaittk^ are .called dsjicieiU. 

 Intervi\ls that exceed tr{ie-diai«uiv intervals, by a fcmitone 



minor, are faid to beyu/ifr^uoaj; and thofe which fall fliort 

 Tjy the fame quantity, arc faid to be dim'ir.'tjhed. Where an 

 intervtil exceeds a true diatonic interval by the quantity of 

 two feraitoncs minor, we have called it an txireme fupcrjhious 

 ■interval : and if it falls (hort by the fame quantity, the ap- 

 pellation (li, extreme dimini/hed interval is given it. Thus, if 

 from A to D afcending be a true fourth, and from D to a 

 a true fifth, then if D be fuppofed ralfed by a comma, froni 

 A to D will be a redundant fourth, and from D to a a d;- 

 ficient fifth. From A to D a; will be a fuperfluous fourth,
