Claudi Meneghin - Arietta with 5 Variations, for Organ, in 46edo



A short Arietta with 5 variations, in 46-equal division of the octave, for organ.

F (19\46) - G/ (28\46) - A// (37\46) - C (46\46).
In general, the divisibility of the fifth (27\46) by 3 has been extensively used throughout the piece. Also, there are plenty of septimal harmonies.
