Pitch is a psychological phenomenon, therefore also called virtual pitch, which is related to the physical spectrum of a sound on a one dimensional interval scale. When relating pitch to frequency, a perceived tone can be associated to a frequency number. Comparing two tones can then be done by comparing the ratios of their frequencies, and we arrive at the well known harmonic relations of the octave (2:1), fifth (3:2), forth (4:3) etc.
