historical tunings on the modern concert grand
Description
Beethoven in the temperaments-historical tunings on the modern concert grand.
"Temperament" is both the process and result of making slight changes to the pitches of a pure musical scale, so that the octave may be conveniently divided into a usable number of notes and intervals. In the history of Western music's 12-note octave tradition, there have been several, fundamentally different forms of temperament applied to the developing keyboard. Music suffers when performed in a tuning that is different than that which the composer used in its creation...

The biological calendar that predicts the season for birth is a lunar calendar that, in humans, has somehow become the diatonic scale of music. A four-way correlation will be shown between the Meton lunar calendar, Fibonacci’s rabbit sequence, coral spawning record and both major and natural minor diatonic scales of music....

There must be a strong psychoacoustical basis for stability conditions. For pitch collections, this entails intervals that proceed gradually from very small to comparatively large frequency ratios.
It seems likely Lerdahl's point here is that intervals proceed gradually from small frequency ratios to larger frequency ones rather than suddenly. The classic Just diatonic scale does this and, to a lesser extent, so does the Pythagorean scale....

The 8-Tone Quarto-Modes Concept is a special study into the diminished and its application for mainstream jazz players, advanced improvisators, and notational composers. Ten years in development, and written by an internationally acclaimed musician for musicians already familiar with standard scaletone harmony, it is a new paradigm for further possibilities in jazz and improvisational music.
