Temperament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Types of temperament include equal temperament and other regular temperaments, schismatic temperament, and well temperament. In psychology, temperament is the general nature of an individual's personality, such as introversion or extraversion, it derives from the theory of the humours. In music, temperament is the approximating, or tempering, of the rational frequency ratios of just intonation with the intent of increasing the flexibility of the resulting system of musical tuning. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Temperament   (167 words)

Harmonic errors in equal tempered musical scales For similar evaluations of equal tempered scales, using some different criteria, including those important to melody, see Paul Erlich's article Tuning, Tonality, and Twenty-Two-Tone Equal Temperament and Georg Hajdu's Low Energy and Equal Spacing; the Multifactorial Evolution of Tuning Systems, Interface, 22, (1993), 319-333. The equal tempered scale usually refers to the musical scale with 12 equal divisions of the octave, but here I take an equal-tempered scale to be any scale where the frequency of each note is related to the next by a constant multiplier. A first pass at finding equal tempered scales that work is to compare powers of 2 with powers of the other small primes and look for near matches. www.uq.net.au /~zzdkeena/Music/EqualTemperedMusicalScales.htm   (2765 words)

Sites about Microtonal Scales for Your Perusal Paul Erlich has a paper on some scales within 22-tone equal temperament which does a really good job of applying tonal principles to a new kind of scale. The Bohlen-Pierce Site is exactly what it says it is. A whole website devoted to the Bohlen-Pierce scale, which is a non-octave equal temperament. Which are consistent with 24-equal, the much heard of quartertone scale that Real Theorists tend to look down on. www.microtonal.co.uk /scales.html   (175 words)

Question—What would be most helpful in music today to the composer, to the performer, and to the theorizer Although Kraehenbuehl and Schmidt do not address the issue of temperament, it is reasonable to suppose that they would allow for equal temperament when it preserves the consonance relationships of the prevailing harmonic limit, so that the present usage of 12-equal may be seen according to their theory. Kraehenbuehl and Schmidt, inspired by Yasser, proposed an evolution proceeding from pentatonic to heptatonic to chromatic (12 tones) to "hyperchromatic" (22 tones) to 41 tones per octave, corresponding with a harmonic limit that increases from 3 to 5 t o 7 to 11. Moving between one key and another (of the same quality) a Q away often allows short chromatic passages in diatonic music, and the same holds true with the decatonic s cale. www.microtonal.freeservers.com /Question1.html   (175 words)

(excerpted from another context) The perfect fifth is 702 cents and equal temperament is 700 cents, a difference of 2 cents. The syntonic comma is 22 cents, the denominator of the fraction, and the number of cents flat from the perfect fifth is the numerator of the fraction. For example, the fifth interval in 1/4 comma meantone temperament is 5.5 cents flat relative to the perfect, Pythagorean fifth interval. www.autoharpworks.com /pages/Post/doc/tune/temperament_names.htm   (625 words)

RASIKA - Articles - 22 Sruthis The system of equal temperament assumes a physical equality or equivalence of all the srutis which is nowhere implicitly or explicitly provided for in our musical theory at any time. This theory cannot be supported because gamaka is applicable only to svaras; gamakas are of infinte subtle variation and this finds usage in raga, by no means in only 22 ways. If theory were to postulate as many rshabha-s as there are in actual practice, then there would have to be as many mEla-s as there are rAga-s. carnatic2000.tripod.com /sruthi.htm   (3816 words)

Enharmonic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For example, in twelve-tone equal temperament (the modern system of musical tuning in the west), the notes C sharp and D flat are enharmonically equivalent - that is, they are represented by the same key (on a musical keyboard, for example), and thus are identical in pitch, although they have different names and diatonic functionality. This page was last modified 22:24, 18 July 2005. An enharmonic is also one of the three Greek genera in music, in which the tetrachords are divided (descending) as a ditone plus two microtones. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Enharmonic   (3816 words)

Aaron Krister Johnson : chicago composer and pianist The other night I tried and loved Paul Erlich's 12-of-22-equal temperament and loved it, which is weird, because I remember trying it awhile back and not caring for it all that much. The scrolling of the music stand, beautiful fat 19th century legs, and the playing sound are all what I ever dreamed of in a piano. Playing a middle C alone on each of the pianos in the showroom will even tell you that this is a standout piano. www.akjmusic.com   (1145 words)

Scottish Terrier The Scottish Terrier coat must be sufficiently clean and well-groomed to enable a judge to properly evaluate the dog, but the artfulness of the trimming is not a factor to consider in judging this breed unless all other aspects of the dogs being judged are equal. A well-balanced Scottish Terrier male weighs from 19 to 22 pounds and a female from 18 to 21 pounds. Although the Scottie is instantly recognizable by his characteristic profile, Scottie temperament is the essence of the breed. www.ukcdogs.com /breeds/terriers/scottishterrier.std.shtml   (1721 words)

Bharata's Vina Consequently, even though Bharata was under the impression that the pramana sruti represents a constant interval, the fact remains that a scientific or artistic experience of 22-tone equal temperament is impossible without advanced mathematics. Refer to Figure 21(a), Row 1, and notice that Sa, Ma, Pa, and Sa' are vertically aligned with ratios 1/1, 4/3, 3/2, and 2/1, respectively, in Row 4; and that all 4- sruti intervals in Row 2 are vertically aligned with interval ratios 9/8 in Row 3. Further evidence that these distributions of srutis in the Sa-grama and Ma-grama are authentic may be found in a text entitled Dattilam, written by Dattila (early centuries a.d). www.chrysalis-foundation.org /Bharata's_Vina.htm   (1721 words)

Acoustics FAQ For example, with Equal Temperament each semitone is higher or lower in frequency than the previous semitone by a factor of 2^(1/12). See "Science" 14 October 1994 page 233, "Scientific American" (International Edition) February 1995 Page 32 or "Physics Today" September 1994 Page 22, all quite readable articles. Sound is often represented diagrammatically as a sine wave, but physically sound (in air) is a longitudinal wave where the wave motion is in the direction of the movement of energy. www.faqs.org /faqs/physics-faq/acoustics   (6493 words)

grad - small musical interval measure, 1/12 of pythagorean comma The grad is thus precisely the amount by which the 12-edo "5th" is narrower than the Pythagorean "5th" with the ratio 3:2, and therefore is the unit of measurement used in tuning that temperament. This interval therefore divides the octave, which is assumed to have the ratio 2:1, into ~613.81047 equal parts. The width of this grad interval is ~1.955000865 (pretty close to 1 & 21/22) cents. tonalsoft.com /enc/g/grad.aspx   (537 words)

The Microbeat: Ivor Darreg's "Where Do I Start?" Different advocates of new scales offer only one alternative to the 12-tone equal temperament standard on keyboard and fretted instruments; and the newcomer to this field is left in unsettled confusion. Now in that case, it cannot be readily written down in familiar standard notation, but there are many standard pieces of music that sound well in 22. Two ways to enter 19 now are: using refretted guitars and using those synthesizers which are capable of remapping the keyboard to have three octaves and a fraction of 19-tone instead of the standard five octaves of twelve-tone. tonalsoft.com /pub/news/microbeat.aspx   (537 words)

Statistical test of 9ET in gamelan pelog Gamelan pelog shows a statistically significant bias toward the interval steps of a 9-tone equal temperament (9ET) Method: Considering the 22 interval types, the largest difference between a mean interval and a 9ET interval is 36 Cent (see diagram for the interval nem-barang: mean interval = 169 Cent, 9ET interval = 133 Cent). The deviation of the measured from the expected data was tested by a chi-square goodness-of-fit test. web.telia.com /~u57011259/pelog%20stat.htm   (168 words)
