I've just finished reading "Macroevolutionaries" by Lieberman and Eldredge.-a I recommend it highly.-a It's a history extending from the beginning of the 19th century to the present of the evolution (no pun)
of the gradual development of our understanding of evolution itself. One
of the punctuations (pun intended this time) is the brilliance of SJ Gould.
Some of the more funny chapters involves the evolution of trumpets,
replete with a mass extinction of valveless trumpets around 1820, rapid diversification and eventual slower evolution to the present day. Clades
can be identified. It seems that biology isn't the only thing that "only makes sense as evolution".

How do slide trombones fit into the phylogeny? And are horns featured? Presumably they developed valves at around the same time.

trumpets, but differed in having three different types of valves so
there were even more clades than trumpets.

So.-a Double checking.
The music of the spheres is minor mode, right?
This is because 1.5 times the frequency of c is f
sharp or g flat, and is neither f nor g?
(An 'octave' actually has seven notes and not
eight, but is actually 7 + 5 (twelve tones).)
Correct?

As for the octave, it's the interval specified by doubling or halving in frequency.-a In a well-temepered scale there are 12 equally spaces half-tones, with the octave being the next.-a Modal scales (generally archaic) have different spacings.-a I'm not familiar with then either.
