What does octave mean in music? How to explain that one sound is eight degrees higher than the other?
Simply put, in music, a note is called a degree. In the scale 1234567, 1 to 2 is the second degree (there are sophomores and juniors), 1 to 3 is the third degree, 1 to 7 is the seventh degree, from alto 1 to treble 65438. Then we can say that the treble 1 is an octave higher than the alto 1. This means that "one voice is eight pitches higher than the other".
