What is your reaction to some of the historical-tuning recordings that have proliferated in the past decade or so, especially on piano? Do you see aesthetic value in those tunings, when taken as a whole piece, or are you so locked in to equal temperament that it's irritating to hear alternative tunings?
I have a pretty decent relative pitch but not perfect pitch... to me these tunings sound interesting but I can't say I derive any more pleasure from them. Sometimes they give me the feeling of not quite having my footing underneath myself. They're more of an oddity.
- SeanLuke 5y agoThose tunings are not so off as to be annoying, so I don't really have much of an opinion of them except to think that they're kinda silly. Other tunings (like 31 EDO) I just can't handle.
- joegahona 5y agoNever heard of 31 EDO till now. Indeed, pretty brutal even for this non-perfect-pitch person: https://youtu.be/hLjnNflnvEQ https://youtu.be/hLjnNflnvEQ
