What sonorities and moods have we lost in playing music in \"equal temperament\"--the equal division of the octave into twelve notes that has become our standard tuning method? Thanks to \u003cem\u003eHow Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony\u003c\/em\u003e, \"we may soon be able to hear for ourselves what Beethoven really meant when he called B minor 'black'\" (\u003cem\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e).In this \"comprehensive plea for more variety in tuning methods\" (\u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e), Ross W. Duffin presents \"a serious and well-argued case\" (\u003cem\u003eGoldberg Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e) that \"should make any contemporary musician think differently about tuning\" (\u003cem\u003eSaturday Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"W.
