MICROTONAL FUGUE on an Original Theme [42edo]


 We present a Fugue on an original theme for Baroque Oboe, Recorder, Clarinet, Bassoon, tuned into a 12-tone subset of 42edo, generated by using six 24-step fifths (685.714 cents) alternated with six 25-step ones (714.286 cents).

This yields the following scale: 0.00 = 0\42 114.29 = 4\42 200.00 = 7\42 314.29 = 11\42 400.00 = 14\42 514.29 = 18\42 600.00 = 21\42 714.29 = 25\42 800.00 = 28\42 914.29 = 32\42 1000.00 = 35\42 1114.29 = 39\42 The customary 12-tone notation has been used in an inconsistent way. ⦿ More version of this Fugue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXwlLV2TCsw&list=PLC6ZSKWKnVz19KFcqB81YBug-MN71_Stb ⦿ More 42-edo videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH-iGV6r8Xw&list=PLC6ZSKWKnVz3SApJsD6D6DTDrTtCEFaF3
