Term Pitch is the characteristic of musical notes that enables us to classify a note as ‘high’ or ‘low’. It is a subjective quantity that cannot be measured by an instrument. It depends upon an objective quantity the frequency. However, there exists no one-to-one correspondence between the two. A shrill, sharp or acute sound is said to be of High Pitch. But a dull, grave and flat note is said to be Low Pitch.
