Limit (music)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music theory, limits or harmonic limits are a way of characterizing the harmony found in a piece or genre of music, or the harmonies that can be made using a particular scale. The term limit was introduced by Harry Partch,[1] who used it to give an upper bound on the complexity of harmony; hence the name.
