![]() ![]() ![]() In an article by the Schiller Institute 12 it was stated that the most scientifically correct tuning is 432 Hz. Renold has described these behaviors for over twenty years, interviewing and testing the two different frequencies on more than two thousand people. ![]() When the tone of the same instrument was brought to 432 Hz, the same people, once again invited to listen to the same concert, perceived the music as being better, and showed much more attention in listening. Maria Renold explains in her book describing some experiments, 11 that when listening to a piano concert with a standard pitch based on a 440 Hz LA, the listeners present in the room during the performance assumed polemic, aggressive behaviors. In fact, in 1989, in line with the 1975 European directives, the A was also legally fixed in Italy at 440 Hz. Italian opera singers in 1988 proposed to modify the tuning-fork for tuning the orchestras of the opera houses to 432 Hz, and the composer Giuseppe Verdi had already requested this in 1884 his request was granted in a decree which, however, was never applied. 4Ĭurrently, musicians using 432 Hz, as well as opera singers in the 1980s, declare that when musical instruments are tuned to 432 Hz, music becomes “hotter” and the perceived volume seems higher at parity of Decibel (dB). The frequency of 432 Hz music, as already mentioned for 440 Hz, refers to the value of the note A4 (LA3) of the central octave of the piano, which is taken as a reference to tune all the other notes in the time system. 7 The transposition process can also be viewed in different videos on the web (YouTube). The transposition of music from 440 Hz to 432 Hz is obtained by imperceptibly slowing down (by 32 hundredths of a tone) the execution of a song originally tuned at 440 Hz, using music editing software. Furthermore, on the web (YouTube) there are music tracks that have been transposed to 432 Hz from their original 440 Hz tuning. The 432 Hz tuning is sometimes used in the New Age genre (meditation music) 4 and by some musicians. So, nowadays, all the music we generally listen to is tuned to the 440 Hz frequency. 4 This frequency value was established in the 1950s 5 and confirmed in 1975 as the standard tuning for music worldwide. The current reference frequency for tuning musical instruments is 440 Hz, which corresponds to the musical note A4 (LA3) in the central octave of the piano. Specifically, the frequency values determine the tonality and influence the timbre of the sounds. The Hz express the cycles per second (1 Hz = 1 cycle per second). 1, 2įrom the point of view of physics, music is made up of sounds that are generated by waveforms whose frequency is expressed in Hertz (Hz). The whole history of human civilization shows evidence of connections between music and physical and mental healing. ![]() Music has always been perceived as having special healing powers in people. ![]()
