WHAT DOES SCHISMA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Schisma

In music, the schisma (also spelled skhisma) is the interval, a comma, between a Pythagorean comma (531441:524288) and a syntonic comma (81:80) and equals 32805:32768, which is 1.9537 cents ( Play (help·info)). It may also be defined as: ▪ the difference between 8 justly tuned perfect fifths plus a justly tuned major third and 5 octaves; ▪ the difference between major limma and Pythagorean limma; ▪ the difference between the syntonic comma and the diaschisma. Schisma is a Greek word meaning a split (see schism) whose musical sense was introduced by Alexander J. Ellis. Earlier theorist Andreas Werckmeister defined the grad as the twelfth root of the Pythagorean comma, or equivalently the difference between the justly tuned fifth and the equally tempered fifth of 700 cents. This value, 1.955 cents, may be approximated by the ratio 886:885. This interval is also sometimes called a schisma. Curiously, 21/12 51/7 appears very close to 4:3, the just perfect fourth. That's because the difference between a grad and a schisma is so small.
