Abstract
It will be demonstrated how diatonic behavior associated with the equal tunings of 17 and 19 notes is virtually identical to that of the standard 12-note equal tuning. However, levels of discordance are noticeably different among the three tunings. The reasons for this will be shown in detail. It will also be shown how the conventional musical notation—the five-line staff with treble and bass clef, as well as accidentals—is an accurate and comprehensible representation of the tunings of 17 and 19 notes. Musical illustrations in the form of brief (4-minute) compositions, electronically created, can be provided. Funding for this study was provided by a grant from the NEH, and administered through Webster College, St. Louis.
