Der Begriff „Klangfarbe“ gilt als mehrdimensionale Empfindungsgröße. Die Frage nach den Elementen der Klangfarbe ist wissenschaftlich noch nicht vollständig geklärt. Immerhin kann man feststellen, dass man unter Klangfarbe das komplexe Merkmal verstehen kann, mit dem das Gehör Schalle mit gleicher Tonhöhe, Lautheit, subjektiver Dauer und Einfallsrichtung unterscheiden kann.

levels of sensitivity
'Klangfarbe' is the basis of orchestrating - particularly where the differences in sound between instruments of the same 'family' are concerned. To use as a constant the note C below the staff. This note will SOUND very different when played by a trumpet, clarinet or piano. Each of these instruments produce a distinctive 'Klangfarbe'. However, should a trumpet, trombone and flugelhorn each play the note, it needs a very sensitive ear to determine which instrument has produced it. Their 'Klangfarbe' can be extremely similar - but there is a difference, if one knows what to listen for! This factor is often used to set the "mood" for a piece e.g. start mellow on flugelhorn - finish brash on a trumpet!
