In that case, as long as the third harmonic of C (ie the G a twelfth above the fundamental) and the second and fourth harmonics of F# (ie two F#s an octave and two octaves above the fundamental) were clearly audible in all registers it might indeed be hard to decide which was higher. It's rather different from what Tchaikovsky does though isn't it? (I'll look for a score of it. Which movement?) | |
