The A above middle C is a frequency of 440hz. You can calculate any other
pitch by applying multiples of 1.0594631 (1.06 is, of course a pretty good
approximation.) Thus the C above that A is 523.3 and middle C is 26o1.5.
That 1.0594631 is the 12th root of 2 and that's used because our system
divides the octave, a ratio of 2 to 1, into 12 equal parts. In order for
those equal parts to be in fact equidistant, you must use a logarithmic
rather than an arithmetic division.
