An interval is the "distance" in terms of pitch between two notes.  This is usually defined in terms of the number of steps between them in the 12-tone chromatic scale.  The actual pitch difference depends on the tuning system used.  The two relative pitches also form a ratio that determine how harmonic they are.

An interval is the "distance" in terms of pitch between two notes. This is usually defined in terms of the number of steps between them in the 12-tone chromatic scale. The actual pitch difference depends on the tuning system used. The two relative pitches also form a ratio that determine how harmonic they are.
