BACH - RICERCAR a 6 from the Musical Offering, tuned into E34 (with syntonic-comma adjustment)

 

We present Bach's Ricercar a 6 from the Musical Offering, tuned into 34-equal division of the octave, used as two chains of 17-edo. A mild syntonic-comma adjustment was caried out: all notes from E onwards on the chain of fifths were lowered by 1/34 of an octave (the interval A-E almost never shows up in the Ricercar a 6); also, A was lowered by 1/34 of on octave if lying above an F in the framework of a F or F7 chord; finally D was lowered by 1/34 of an octave if lying above a Bb in the framework of a Bb or Bb7 chord. The remaining notes were left unchanged as if they were in 17-edo. Some local ajustments were performed too. The same piece in 17-edo (without 34-edo syntonic-comma adjustment): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQvM83cj6sw Midi rendition, soundfont is «Harpischord Zell». Tuned by Huygens Fokker Scala, implemented by SynthFont. ⦿ More Bach’s Ricercar a 6: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC6ZSKWKnVz2QPjOzz3c2q_HbCJazTLkv

Chopin's Prelude in E-Minor (op.28 no. 4, "Suffocation") Arranged for Harpischord, and tuned into Werckmeister 3

 

We present Chopin's Prelude in E-Minor (op.28 no. 4, "Suffocation") arranged for Harpischord, and tuned into Werckmeister 3, the well-temperament generated by four meantone fifths (C-G, G-E, D-A, B-F#) and eight pythagorean ones, probably used by Bach. Cent figures of the tuning (integer approximations): C = 0 C♯ = 90 D = 192 D♯ = 294 E = 390 F = 498 F♯ = 588 G = 696 G♯ = 792 A = 888 B♭ = 996 B = 1092
