Why are there only 7 musical notes? Was it decided to divide sounds like that or are there no more in nature?
In: Other
I’m gonna be the off beat one who says that there actually are more than the traditional “7 musical notes” (12 if you’re taking other’s explanations as well). There’s microtonal music as well but my limited understanding is that western traditions created a dominant music style that makes other styles sound out of tune.
