Pianists don't press the white keys all the way at the back, do they? The good ones do it all the time because moving the entire hand forward and back can be significantly more fluid than contorting to play another way…the keyboard i

An untempered instrument would be one that is tuned to maintain the perfect intervals of a specific root tone. Temperament is adjusting tuning for musical practicality. 12 TET is simply one set of compromises/benefits in a constellatio

I agree, the white keys on a piano represent a diatonic scale, but because today’s pianos are rarely tuned to anything other than 12TET, there are few interesting mathematical relationships between notes in practice (and pianos are normally

It forces players to remember different positions for the same chord transposed to start at different notes. The piano was developed well before equal temperament came to dominate tuning. [1] So each musical key would have different harmo

Prostate biopsy is an out-patient procedure and is a standard protocol for determining the presence of cancer. Like I said, there is more to this story.

Treatments for prostate cancer are consistently improving. And what makes sense when you are 55 might be different than what does at 75…like all health care issues.

A PSA of 12 is pretty far past the threshold for an MRI (don’t know about a PET scan) and an MRI would be pretty determinative about whether or not a biopsy is warranted. A biopsy would be pretty good at identifying cancer. Sounds like eith
