Still a stub?
edit- Should this article really still be labeled as a stub? I mean, there's not a whole lot more about the note A that can be said without becoming overly specific about meaningless connections. Shouldn't it be taken off the stub list?Kevin 02:35, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Insert the A 440 sound?
edit- Maybe it would make sense to add the actual sound of an A 440? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.57.44.195 (talk) 00:05, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Wrong Note?
editThis article says that A7 is a slightly lower note than C8, the highest note on a piano. I'm pretty sure thats wrong but I don't know a lot about pianos... Seems like it should be C7. --Monguin61 (talk) 17:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Reason for name
editI think the key piece of information missing from this, which I've been unable to find, is why this note is the start of the musical alphabet. The key of C major has no sharps or flats, and is therefore a natural rival for this role. Please forgive me if I'm breaking protocol by not filing this with some forum- but this is the place people who want to know are most likely to look. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.222.200 (talk) 18:44, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
contra symbol
editDoes anyone know if the proper symbol is available? I'm using a pipe, but it's a bit long. The previous IPA symbol was incorrect and too short. — kwami (talk) 08:56, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Octaves: small, great, contra, sub-contra, und so weiter
editDiff These octave names appear to be from the "German method" of octave nomenclature. See, for example:
- Naming the Octaves on the Dolmetsch theory site
- Octave designation at the Virginia Tech Multimedia Music Dictionary
- ... and so forth...
In my opinion, this is uncontroversial common knowledge, and so does not need a footnoted source for inclusion in Wikipedia. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 19:29, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Why???
editWhy did not they determine that the G4 would be 400 Hz? Not just better? (Note: I do not know English. I wrote by Google's automatic translation) 213.8.65.165 (talk) 15:34, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
