Dec 1, 2022 · Consonance results from the combination of sounds that can be expressed by simple integer ratios. Perfect consonances are expressed by interval ratios of 1:2 (octaves), 2:3 (fifths), 3:4 (fourths). More complex ratios, e.g., 7:8 or 8:9, give rise to dissonances.
A scientific basis for the phenomenon of consonance and dissonance was established by Helmholtz (1877) and was based on the number and strength of ‘beating’ harmonics in a pair of simultaneous complex tones (Roederer 1975; Hartmann 1998).
Jul 12, 2021 · Acoustic and musical components of consonance and dissonance perception have been recently identified. This study expands the range of predictors of consonance and dissonance by three analytical operations.

Jun 6, 2010 · We used individual differences to explore the basis of consonance and dissonance. Our findings suggest that consonance is due to harmonic frequency relations, and that dissonance results from note combinations that produce inharmonic frequencies.

Dec 1, 2022 · Here, we review the key historical sources and modern multidisciplinary findings on C/D and integrate them into three main hypotheses: the vocal similarity hypothesis (VSH), the psychocultural hypothesis (PH), and the sensorimotor hypothesis (SH).
This chapter examines a wide range of approaches to consonance/dissonance, focusing on four debates: the age-old sensus/ratio discussion, contrapuntal treatises, non-Western evidence from cognitive science, and evolutionary arguments.
