Many of us assume that musical pitch has always been gauged at the same level but this is not the case. Concert pitch is the pitch reference to which a group of musical instruments are tuned for a performance. Even though it is generally agreed that the concert pitch standard today is A=440hz this has not always been the case. This music history lesson explores the variations in pitch since the Baroque period and explains how the 440hz was eventually standardised, recognising that even now there is variation. This fascinating topic explains much about pitch variation over the centuries and the impact it has made on music. \n
