Hi Paul. I read that book, along with another one which argued that equal temperament made Modern (post-modern?) Civilization the "greatest the world has ever known," or something like that. Sorry, I don't remember the name of the book or its author. I didn't agree with his premise or his thesis, but then again my motto might be "if it ain't diatonic why bother?"
> Ross W. Duffin: How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (and Why You Should > Care) I've been reading about microtonal scales, which were and still are used by the same people who brought us the concept of "0" and the seven day week. Any analysis of scales on our chosen instrument has to always keep the drone in the back ground, otherwise we might as well be a clarinet NG.
