I am not assuming I am in the key of F (one flat), there is one semi-tone in each octave: B flat.

While Iam navigating the entire 2 1/2 octave range, navigating the range chromatically, then each note change is a semi-tone, 13 semi-tones in all for each octave. So 13+13+6 = 32 semi-tones in 2½ octaves.

What are the differences between Shakespeare sonnet and petrarchan sonnet?

The difference is in their structure - both have fourteen lines of iambic pentameter, but they are organized in different ways.A Petrarchan (also called an "Italian") sonnet, is composed of an octave (eight lines) followed by a sestet (six lines). The rhyme scheme of the octave is typically abbaabba (this is easy in Italian because so many words end in suffixes like "-ello" or "-etto").The octave sets up the problem of the sonnet, which might be something like the brevity of a lifetime or the transience of beauty. The sestet has its own rhyme scheme, and there are several acceptable patterns (cdcdcd, cdecde, to name a couple). The sestet resolves the problem set up in the octave - if the problem is the transience of beauty, perhaps the solution is that the person's beauty will live on in the poem. The change in tone between the octave and the sestet is called a turn, or a "volta."The Shakespearean (also called an "English") sonnet is composed of four quatrains (of four lines each) and a concluding couplet (two lines). The rhyme scheme is as follows: abab cdcd efef gg. Each quatrain serves to develop an element or a facet of the problem.For example, a sonnet about the transience of beauty might have one quatrain about the beloved's charms, one comparing her to the seasons, and one about how she will eventually die. The couplet solves the problem of the quatrains, just as the sestet solves the problem of the octave in Petrarchan sonnet. The volta traditionally occurs between the third quatrain and the couplet. Because you have to solve the problem in two lines, the couplet tends to be particularly witty and significant.

What is the arrangement of note in harmonic interval?

In a harmonic interval, two notes are played simultaneously. The arrangement is defined by the distance between the two notes, measured in steps or semitones. Common harmonic intervals include the octave (8 semitones), fifth (7 semitones), and fourth (5 semitones). The specific quality of the interval, such as major, minor, perfect, augmented, or diminished, further characterizes the relationship between the notes.
