Later he went to Venice, and after a period of employment there he joined a monastery at Bergamo where he remained until the end of his life; at least one publication dates from this time.
Aron's significance mainly derives from his treatises on the contrapuntal practice of the period.
Other topics covered by Aron include the use of the eight modes, four-voice cadences, notation of accidentals, and tuning, which was a difficult and contentious topic prior to the acceptance of equal temperament.

Pietro Aretino (1492 - 1556) was an Italian author, playwright, poet and satirist.
The installation of the prudish Fleming Adrian VI ("la tedesca tigna" in Pietro's words) instead encouraged Aretino to seek new patrons away from Rome, mainly with Federico II Gonzaga in Mantua, and with the condottiere Giovanni de' Medici ("Giovanni delle Bande Nere").
From the security of Venice Aretino "kept all that was famous in Italy in a kind of state of siege," in Jakob Burckhardt's estimation.

Aron, Pietro, LUCIDARIO IN MUSICA DI ALCUNE OPPENIONI ANTICHE, ET MODERNE CON LE LORO OPPOSITIONI, & RESOLUTIONI, CON MOLTI ALTRI SECRETI [...] ANCHORA NON DICHIARATI [...]
First edition and the only edition of the LUCIDARIO of Pietro Aron, the first author who wrote a musical treatise in vernacular.
The highly theoretical discussion - pertaining to canto piano and figurato and about harmonica aspects of the contrappunto, in which Spadaro, Niccolò Vueso and Aron were involved - deals with the triadic scheme, in which at the 'oppenione' follows a 'oppositione' and a 'resolutione' of the author.

 The Changing Scale   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Thus we cannot say for sure when the idea of temperament arose, but the problems that it intended to solve were clearly in view by the beginning of the sixteenth century.
Aron developed a quarter comma meantone temperament without realizing it - named this because the offset of one fourth was applied to the scale with a wolf tone offset of seven fourths.
Here is Aron's quarter comma meantone temperament scale, reproduced chromatically, and below is a table that shows the offset it creates (table 1).

While Lodovico Fogliano was defending the importance of the ear as opposed to mathematical intervals as the true way to determine consonance and dissonance, Pietro Aron was providing guidance to composers on how to actually work with multiple lines of music simultaneously.
His madrigals are filled with obvious musical allusions to the words such as running streams, chattering nymphs, etc., but they also contain musical subtleties, images and moods set by the music to bring greater expression to the words.
He draws from "all who ever wrote of the art of music" (Morley, 121) such as Franchinus Gaffurio, Peter Aron and Glarean, in his attempt to reconcile their theories of the modes with practice.

 Summi et Aeterni ORDER
Palestrina's music continues to be performed and recorded, and to provide models for the study of counterpoint.
In the 1590s his health began to decline, and he was treated for hypochondria; however he still was able to compose as well as travel occasionally.
His final work was the exquisite set of 21 madrigale spirituale, the Lagrime di San Pietro (Tears of St. Peter), which he dedicated to Pope Clement VIII, and published posthumously in 1595.

 Modal Subjectivities: CHAPTER ONE
In point of fact, his model does not necessarily even help us with much music of the fifteenth century, composed largely without this reworking of mode as part of the precompositional conceptual framework.
But beginning with Johannes Tinctoris, who states quite off-handedly and without much further explanation that mode also applies to polyphony, a series of intellectuals—including most prominently Pietro Aron and Heinrich Glareanus, in addition to Zarlino—grappled with formulating theories of modal polyphonic practice.
But as Pietro Aron discovered when he attempted to analyze contemporary practice, some compositions of the time also shape themselves around C and A as apparent finals.

Pietro Aron produced a more thorough analysis in Toscanello in Musica (1523), which sufficed for all practical purposes.
What happened after this to complete the chromatic scale introduced a number of variants which only the more studious of our readers are likely to pursue.
Suffice it to point out that the results generally work well in the keys C, G, D, F and B flat but outside these serious problems arise and composers writing for this system avoided keys more distant from C. Pietro Aron's description of meantone tuning is the best known.

Because of this composers began to write parts simultaneously, listening to the totality of the sound.
Now that you understand this important contrast between successive and simultaneous composition you’ll be able to appreciate the words of the musical theorist Pietro Aron in 1524.
He talked about the various parts of a piece (cantus, tenor, contrabass), and compared the old style of composing to the new:

In order to have perfect major thirds (as between 480 = 5 × 96 and 384 = 4 × 96), a small infringement is thereby made of the perfect fifths.

It is the mean-tone temperament, strongly advocated by Gioseffo Zarlino (1517-1590; Stevin occasionally calls him Meester Sarlijn) and by Francesco Salinas (1577), two great early legislators of music.

The text, however, admonishes the reader to narrow each fifth by "tant soit peu" ("ever so little") so that the thirds in major triads specified for tests throughout the sequence are "good".
This would appear to be an exact, reproducible prescription for a tuning only if the thirds were made exact, which would make "Lambert Chaumont 1695" precisely the same as the quarter comma meantone tuning published in 1523 by Pietro Aron.

This solution was put forward by Zarlino in his Dimostrationi harmoniche in 1571 (Ragionamento quinto).
Full credit for the first description of this solution is given by Barbour to Pietro Aron (Venice, 1523).
For him the problem does not exist, or rather: he puts x = -1/12 comma, this being the difference between his fifth and the Pythagorean fifth of 3/2.
