in mean tone temperaments e g d e 2 in the quarter tone scale also called 24 tone equal temperament 24 tet the quarter tone is 50 cents or a frequency ratio of 24 2 or approximately 1 0293 and divides the octave into 24 equal steps equal temperament in this scale the quarter tone is the smallest step a semitone is thus made of two steps and three steps make a three quarter tone or neutral second half of a minor third the 8 tet scale is composed of three quarter tones four steps make a whole tone quarter tones and intervals close to them also occur in a number of other equally tempered tuning systems 22 tet contains an interval of 54 55 cents slightly wider than a quarter tone whereas 53 tet has an interval of 22 642 cents which doubled makes up for over 90 the spectral range of a quarter tone 72 tet also has equally tempered quarter tones and indeed contains three quarter tone scales since 72 is divisible by 24 the smallest interval in 31 equal temperament the diesis of 38 71 cents is half a chromatic semitone one third of a diatonic semitone and one fifth of a whole tone so it may function as a quarter tone a fifth tone or a sixth tone just intonation tuning systems edit in just intonation the quarter tone can be represented by the septimal quarter tone 36 35 48 77 cents or by the undecimal quarter tone i e the thirty third harmonic 33 32 53 27 cents approximately half the semitone of 16 15 or 25 24 the ratio of 36 35 is only 1 23 cents narrower than a 24 tet quarter tone this just ratio is also the difference between a minor third 6 5 and septimal minor third 7 6 composer ben johnston to accommodate the just septimal quarter tone uses a small 7 as an accidental to indicate a note is lowered 49 cents or an upside down 7 to indicate a note is raised 49 cents 5 or a ratio of 36 35 6 johnston uses an upward and downward arrow to indicate a note is raised or lowered by a ratio of 33 32 or 53 cents 6 the maneri sims notation system designed for 72 et uses the accidentals and for a quarter tone 36 35 or 48 77 cents up and down playing quarter tones edit quarter tone clarinet by fritz schüller viewed from four sides a quarter tone clarinet was built by fritz

hmishoyo shtithoyo ʿajam shbiʿoyo tminoyo quarter tone scale edit known as gadwal in arabic 8 the quarter tone scale was developed in the middle east in the eighteenth century and many of the first detailed writings in the nineteenth century syria describe the scale as being of 24 equal tones 10 the invention of the scale is attributed to mishaqa who wrote a book devoted to the topic 11 but made clear that his teacher sheikh muhammad al attar 1764 1828 was one among many already familiar with the concept 12 audio playback is not supported in your browser you can download the audio file the quarter tone scale may be primarily a theoretical construct in arabic music the quarter tone gives musicians a conceptual map they can use to discuss and compare intervals by number of quarter tones and this may be one of the reasons it accompanies a renewed interest in theory with instruction in music theory a mainstream requirement since that period 10 previously pitches of a mode were chosen from a scale consisting of seventeen tones developed by safi al din al urmawi in the thirteenth century 12 19 limit just intonation intervals approximated in 24 tet composer charles ives chose the chord c d f g b as good possibility for a secondary chord in the quarter tone scale akin to the minor chord of traditional tonality he considered that it may be built upon any degree of the quarter

heavily emphasize quarter tones and used a custom built guitar in 24 tet tuning 17 jazz violinist violist mat maneri in conjunction with his father joe maneri made a crossover fusion album pentagon 2005 18 that featured experiments in hip hop with quarter tone pianos as well as electric organ and mellotron textures along with distorted trombone in a post bitches brew type of mixed jazz rock 19 later seppe gebruers started playing and improvising with two pianos tuned a quarter tone apart in 2019 he started a research project at the royal conservatory of ghent titled unexplored possibilities

drumset ancient greek tetrachords edit the enharmonic genus of the greek tetrachord consisted of a ditone or an approximate major third and a semitone which was divided into two microtones aristoxenos didymos and others presented the semitone as being divided into two approximate quarter tone intervals of about the same size while other ancient greek theorists described the microtones resulting from dividing the semitone of the enharmonic genus as unequal in size i e one smaller than a quarter tone and one larger 21 22 greek dorian enharmonic genus two disjunct tetrachords each of a quarter
