- Abstract
The position of intervals and the degree of musical consonance can be objectively explained by temporal series formed by mixing two pure sounds covering an octave. This result is achieved by means of Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) without considering neither overtones nor physiological hypotheses. The obtained prediction of a consonance can be considered a novel solution to Galileo's conjecture on the nature of consonance. It constitutes an objective link between musical performance and listeners' hearing activity.
