Lou: "There's only seven musical notes..."

 

:facepalm:

 

 

uh, there was a lot more than seven notes for Beethoven to use

 

In any given scale there are 7 distinct notes. There are 12 distinct notes total.

Thanks for the speech Lou I feel dumber now....Is it to early to start drinking?

Just found the outtakes of Holtz's pep talk to Texas. Very inspiring stuff.

I guess the bright side is just about every time Holtz give a pep talk, that team loses.

That's why it's 12, not 7.

in any diatonic scale there are only 7 pitch classes, yes. However, there are other scales that have more. Some could argue that you could classify each note as it's own separate frequency. Therefore on an instrument like a piano Beethoven would have had 88 individual notes to choose from.

 

Still, I was more commenting on Lou's statement that Beethoven only had seven notes to use...when chromatically he had a full 12 to use.

Texas: all the pep talks in the world won't help you Saturday! GBR!

Not to be anal, but its actually 11. The 12th note would just be an octave higher than the 1st.

Nope it's 12.
