Pitch (music)

In music, pitch is the perception of the frequency of a note. For example, the A above middle C is nowadays set at (often written as "A = 440 Hz", and known as concert pitch), although this has not always been the case (see "Historical pitch standards"). Pitch is often cited as one of the fundamental aspects of music.
