This happens to me sometimes :)<br /><br />There are of course the other times...<br /><br />Lucy, yes, the well tempered tuning was developed it seems to me precisely for instruments like the clavier and guitar which can play chords. This was the other problem. When music is mainly melodic and linear, you handle the in-between notes, the seconds and sixths and sevenths in a different way. I think the thirds, fourths and fifths are easy to derive, though they remain complicated when you jumble key signatures together. There have been (and remain actually) differences of opinion as to how to distort the tuning from the ascending sharpness of the cycle of fifths.<br /><br />I am fairly sure that some rock music has capitalized on distortions of tuning on purpose to achieve certain stunning effects. There is no question that a feature of live performance that lifts it out of the studio arises out of the guitars falling away from perfect tuning in difficult to repeat mixes.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-10340578932253583032009-11-27T09:08:15.740-08:002009-11-27T09:08:15.740-08:00I always liked that name 'the well-tempered kl...I always liked that name 'the well-tempered klavier' but didn't fully understand what it meant. Thanks for explaining, and for what you drew from it. And the fish is lovely; for all its smallness and its limits, such a bright, lively thing.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-1317969485287828862009-11-27T08:51:31.120-08:002009-11-27T08:51:31.120-08:00From one fish to another; beautiful poem!

At times I wish i was a more accomplished musician, but i am just darting on the edge of the pool, hearing beautiful tunes from a different world.jozienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212900310477832041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-81826362980121944592009-11-26T15:55:40.847-08:002009-11-26T15:55:40.847-08:00Huh.Huh.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-80204967367575051312009-11-26T13:46:49.176-08:002009-11-26T13:46:49.176-08:00Here's a little agit for the never-believer.
