   Was Pythagoras the father of music theory?

   • At best, Pythagoras could be listed among the fathers of music theory based on the impact the Pythagoras music ratios had on naming harmonic intervals. However, as discussed in the article linked above, theorists were writing theoretically about music long before Pythagoras walked by a blacksmith shop (or experimented with plucked strings).

   Did Pythagoras invent music?

   • While Pythagoras did play the lyre and was an early proponent of the healing quality or music, perhaps suggesting he was a predecessor to modern-day music therapists, he did not invent music. For more on the origins of music, check out our article, WHO INVENTED MUSIC, & HOW OLD IS IT? (THE FULL ORIGIN STORY).

   What did the Pythagoreans believe about music?

   • The Pythagoreans believed that the motions of the heavenly bodies, with just the right ratios of their distances from a central fire, made pleasant music — a concept that evolved into the “music of the spheres.” If you’ve ever heard the phrase “the music of the spheres,” your first thought probably wasn’t about mathematics.

   How did Pythagoras create a sound?

   • Pythagoras (~570 BC) was the first to link music and mathematics. He built a monochord (a tensioned string with a movable bridge that determines how much of the string is free to vibrate). Plucking the free string produced a sound. Pythagoras called this sound base pitch.

   Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratios of all intervals are based on the ratio 3:2. [2] This ratio, also known as the "pure" perfect fifth, is chosen because it is one of the most consonant and easiest to tune by ear and because of importance attributed to the integer 3.

   Note	Interval From D	Size (cents)	12-tet-dif (cents)
   D	unison	0.00	0.00
   E ♭	minor second	90.22	−9.78
   E	major second	203.91	3.91
   F	minor third	294.13	−5.87

   Feb 23, 2005 · In the modern world Pythagoras is most of all famous as a mathematician, because of the theorem named after him, and secondarily as a cosmologist, because of the striking view of a universe ascribed to him in the later tradition, in which the heavenly bodies produce “the music of the spheres” by their movements.
