About This Answer
A musical octave contains eight notes following the do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do pattern. According to music theorists at the Juilliard School, octaves span notes with frequencies in a 2:1 ratio. The Smithsonian Institution documents how the eight-note octave evolved from ancient Greek music theory. Musicians note that the eighth note begins the next octave at double the frequency. The eight-note octave represents the foundation of Western musical scales and harmony.
