  • 用分子加分母素因数权重和定义新音程和谐度公式。
  • 在标准数据上表现与欧拉公式相当,且能生成连续谐波间隔的和谐值。
  • 公式暗示听觉感知中谐波识别的两阶段机制,适合音乐理论研究者。

欧拉1739年提出的音程和谐度公式G(p/q) = 1 + Ω^(p) + Ω^(q),通过加权素因数指数计算音程不协和度。本文提出更简洁的不对称公式f(p/q) = p + Ω^(q),区分分子与分母作用,在标准协和性数据上表现相近。我们进一步证明:在谐波为整数索引且截断至固定层级的模型下,欧拉公式等价于加权谐波重合计数,权重w(n) = Ω^(n),从而连接到伽利略1638年的脉冲重合模型。该公式自然导出一个互质整数三角形T(n,k) = n + Ω^(k),其右对角线给出超部分音(连续谐波)音程的两阶段不协和度。公式可解释为谐波上下文与分部识别的两阶段过程,作为听觉感知的假设性解释。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Euler's Gradus Suavitatis (1739) assigns a dissonance value to a musical interval p/q by the formula G(p/q) = 1 + Ω^(p) + Ω^(q), where Ω^(n) = \sum_i e_i(p_i - 1) sums the weighted prime exponents of n. We propose the simpler asymmetric formula f(p/q) = p + Ω^(q), which treats numerator and denominator differently and performs comparably on standard consonance data. We also show that, under a model in which harmonics are integer-indexed and counted uniformly up to a fixed truncation level, Gradus is equivalent to a weighted harmonic coincidence count with weights w(n) = Ω^(n), connecting it to Galileo's earlier pulse-coincidence model (1638). The formula naturally generates a coprime integer triangle T(n,k) = n + Ω^(k), whose rightmost diagonal gives the two-stage dissonance of the superparticular (consecutive-harmonic) intervals. The formula f admits a simple two-stage interpretation in terms of harmonic context and partial recognition, which we offer as a speculative perceptual hypothesis.
