Diastematics

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the Brockhaus Riemann Musiklexikon , diastematics describes "... the peculiarity of notation to indicate pitch and depth."

Michael Beiche writes in an article published on the State Institute for Music Research , Berlin, διάστημα figuriere "... since the 4th century BC in Greek music theory as a technical term for the musical interval."

Various Greek-German dictionaries (e.g. Pons online dictionary) also offer the translation “ interval ” for διάστημα, i.e. the pitch difference between two tones that sound simultaneously or one after the other.

The Gregorian chant differs between diastematic (pitches indicating) and adiastematic (pitches not displaying) Neumen .

Modern musicology likes to use the term diastematics as a synonym for the course of a melody, e.g. B. Marc Lewon in his master's thesis or Hartmut Schick in a lecture at the International Musicological Congress in Dobis.
