In this context "small" typically means "less than about 6", at least for must humans who have been listening to Western music since birth. In some other cultures, all the unwritten assumptions in the question are just wrong. Also, hearing is not mathematically exact - if a ratio of 396:330 "sounds harmonious", then a ratio of 396.12345: 329.8754 won't sound much different, for most listeners. Also, in his/her examples, the OP might have made the assumption that all frequencies are integers, which of course is not correct. | |

That key may or may not be C. It's the relative pitches against each other, not the key itself, am I wrong? | |
