Description
How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony explores an intriguing idea: what if our standard tuning method had led to richer, more dramatic chords in music? Ross W. Duffin presents a compelling case for the benefits of alternative tuning methods.
This comprehensive guide argues that our current system has resulted in lost sonorities and moods, and invites readers to reconsider their approach to music-making. With its accessible and engaging tone, How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony is an enlightening read for musicians and music enthusiasts alike.
