A tract of low ground between hills, or along the banks of a stream, usually alluvial land, enriched by the overflowings of the river, or by fertilizing deposits of earth from the adjacent hills. Cf. Bottom, n., 7.
Numeric categories with equal units of measure but no absolute zero point, i.e., quality scale or index.
The distance between two music tones or pitches.
Musicians often have cause to describe pitches in relation to one another, using the concept of an interval to do so. The interval between two pitches is the distance between them, measured according to a somewhat complicated system of whole steps and half-steps that reflects their relative position in a scale. An abbreviation for an entry in the works catalog of Weber by Jähns. An abbreviation for an entry in the works catalog of Domenico Scarlatti by Kirkpatrick; Scarlatti's works also bear "L." (Longo) numbers and "P." (Pestelli) numbers. An abbreviation for an entry in the works catalog of Mozart by Köchel. "K. Anh." stands for works in Köchel's addendum ( Anhang) to the main catalog. Köchel's name has been retained as author of the catalog, though other scholars have revised it. First published in 1862, the catalog is in its sixth edition—known as K6—published in 1964. When the Köchel number has been revised from the previous editions, the K6 number is given first, followed by the traditional number in parentheses.

An interval is a qualitative value which describes a set of quantitative values. There are never two succeeding intervals in a quantity space. If there is a preceeding or succeeding value, it must be a point.

a period of execution between two synchronization points on a processor
a range with its endpoints defined by a pair of numbers with the first number being less than or equal to the second
a relationship between notes, usually expressed by the distance between those notes within a scale
a relationship between two numbers
a relationship between two pitches
a set of (real) numbers between, and possibly including, two numbers
A distance between two notes. The interval between to adjacent keys on a piano is a half-step (for instance, B to C). The interval between two keys that have one key in between them is a whole step, or two half-steps (for instance, C to D). Three half-steps are a minor third, four are a major third, and so on. Some intervals have traditional tunes associated with them.
The scale of measurement characterized by equl intervals between points in the scale.
the distance between two pitches. General intervals are measured according to the number of scale degrees between the pitches (beginning with 1=unison).
An assigned period of time. Based on the timeshare weeks calendar wherein the fifty-two weeks of the year are numbered sequentially: week 1 through week 52 or week 53. A specific interval week is a seven-day period encompassing one of those fifty-two weeks.
In music, it's the pitch distance between two notes.
Distance and relationship between two pitches. Example: Chopin, Prelude in E minor, Op.28, No.4 Real Audio: 28k | 56k | About this album The opening interval in this work is an octave (8 tones apart), followed by small intervals (of a semitone or half step).
This is an assigned period of time based on the interval calendar where the fifty-two weeks of the year are numbered sequentially: week 1 through week 52 or week 53. A specific interval week is a seven-day period based around one of the fifty-two weeks in the year.
the distance between two pitches. The half-step is the smallest distance used in medieval music and a mixture of whole steps and half steps form the diatonic scales on which the music is based. From smallest to largest, the common intervals are unison (same sound), half step or whole step, third, fourth, tritone (which is to be avoided), fifth, sixth, seventh, and octave. See consonance and dissonance.
The distance between two musical tones, keys on the keyboard, or notes on the staff (Ex. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th).
The distance in pitch between two tones.
The musical distance between two notes, measured by the number of whole and half steps between the two notes.
the distance between any two pitches and/or notes.
The distance between two pitches, (The specific quality of a sound that makes it a recognizable tone. Pitch defines the location of a tone in relation to others, thus giving it a sense of being high or low).
the distance in pitch between two notes
In music, the distance between two successive pitches (melodic interval) or two concurrent pitches (harmonic interval). In Western music, intervals are characterized by either their distance in semitones, or by their diatonic/ chromatic relationship.
Distance in pitch between 2 tones.
The difference in pitch between two notes.
A set of numbers between two numbers and , possibly including and/or.
The measurement of distance between two notes on a musical staff or keyboard.
For two elements , of a partially ordered set , the interval , is the subset { in | ≤ ≤ } of . If ≤ does not hold the interval will be empty.
An interval is a set of all real numbers between two given endpoints that may or may not include one or both endpoints.
the difference in pitch between two tones as between two tones sounded simultaneous (harmonic interval) or between two tones sounded successively (melodic interval).
a distance, or difference in pitch, between two notes
a quantifier of the melodic distance between two tones, usually without specification as to their harmonic interaction, as distinct from ratio (q.v.).
In timeshare ownership an interval is a measure of time representing one seven-day week in sequentially numbered weeks from 1 to 52 or 53.
The distance between two music notes.
The difference between the frequencies of two pitches. Intervals are usually measured in terms of the number of note names between the two pitches, counting both pitches.
The relationship between two tones.
An assigned period. Based on the interval calendar where fifty-two weeks of the year are numbered sequentially: Week 01 through Week 52 or Week 53. A specific interval week is a seven-day period encompassing one of those fifty-two weeks. Return to the Top of the Page

A set containing all numbers between two given numbers (the endpoints) and one endpoint, both endpoints, or neither endpoint.
The set of numbers between two numbers a and b; the interval may include a and/or b.
The distance between two notes, interms of occilations per second. The difference in one half-step is about 35 beats per second.
Musical and mathematical distance between two notes, measured by scale degrees or steps.
Data measured on a relative scale but with numerical values based on an arbitrary origin. Examples are elevations based on mean sea level, or coordinates.
the distance in pitch btw two tones
1. A space, gap or distance between two things. 2. A period of time between two points of time or events. The intervening period.
In music theory, an interval is the relationship between two notes or pitches, the lower and higher members of the interval. It often refers to those two notes themselves (otherwise known as a dyad). Larger intervals are described as wide and smaller ones as narrow (for example, a sixth is wider than a third), but these are only relative terms.
In elementary algebra, an interval is a set that contains every real number between two indicated numbers and possibly the two numbers themselves. Interval notation is the notation in which permitted values for a variable are expressed as ranging over a certain interval; "5 < x < 9" is an example of the application of interval notation. In conventional interval notation, parentheses ( (...) ) indicate exclusion while square brackets ( [...] ) indicate inclusion.
