Re: [AUDITORY] Numerical perceptual ratings for consonant and dissonant pitch intervals



Dear Ani,

I was about to point you in the direction of Bowling, Purves and Gill (2018) as (presumably) the latest example of such data (http://www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1713206115) but then realised that you are listed as one of the reviewers!

For historical data, Stolzenburg (2015, https://doi.org/10.1080/17459737.2015.1033024) provides some useful references, the earliest of which is Malmberg (1918, http://psycnet.apa.org/record/2011-14996-004).

Best wishes,
Peter

Dear List,
 
I’m looking for published numerical perceptual ratings of consonant and dissonant pitch intervals from Western tonal music.  An example of such ratings (from McDermott, Lehr, and Oxenham 2010, Current Biology) is in Figure 1a on this page:
http://mcdermottlab.mit.edu/consonance_examples/index.html
 
I’m interested in numerical ratings for pitch dyads (e.g., minor second, perfect fifth) made from synthetic harmonic complex tones or real musical instrument tones, not pure tones.  Ideally the ratings would include all dyadic pitch intervals between 1 and 11 semitones in size.
 
McDermott et al. 2010 report such data in their Figure 1a, but surely there are earlier papers?  Any history buffs out there know the earliest such paper?

Thanks,

Ani Patel
