The Allegro has two main parts. Each part is repeated, giving the opportunity to try out two different tunings on each part. The first time through, sensible tunings (mostly 7-limit) are used which stick quite closely to what Mozart wrote. The second time through its (WARNING!) a bit avant-garde.

One again, there is such an abundance of reverb that it borders on reverbabusage. However, this overabundance of reverb turns a band-limited sawtooth wave into something like a stringed instrument, so must now be tolerated by the listener.

David RyanExample of the Twelve Bar Blues with 3-note harmony using linear steps and slides in Just IntonationThis track is an example of a simple twelve bar backing track accompanying 3-note block harmony written in free Just Intonation (JI) with added sliding chords.
For example, one transition used is between a major triad 1st inversion (5 6 8) to a major triad root position (4 5 6), with 1 and then 2 different intermediate chords on the 1st and 2nd repetitions respectively:
1 intermediate chord on 1st repetition:
16 14 12
12 11 10
10 9 8
2 intermediate chords on 2nd repetition:
24 22 20 18
18 17 16 15
15 14 13 12
You could call these types of transition a ‘linear step’ since the frequencies of each note in the harmony undergo linear steps from the starting point to the end point. They are otonal, oper...

David RyanExample of the Twelve Bar Blues with crazy Solo in Just IntonationThis track is an example of a simple twelve bar backing track accompanying a solo melody written in free Just Intonation (JI).
JI allows access to all the frequencies, not just the ones on the piano keyboard or guitar frets. Often musicians when playing the blues, jazz, or guitar solos, bend the string to produce a higher pitch. In this track, there are no 'bent' notes, only precisely specified notes which are often noticeably different to the standard notes from 12-EDO.
Some devices used include:

David RyanExample track of 3 note harmonies in Just Intonation constructed from the numbers 1 to 6This track is constructed from all chords using the numbers 1 to 6 which meet certain criteria. Using whole numbers to construct harmony is 'Just Intonation'. Both the otonal chord (a, b, c) and the utonal chord (1/c, 1/b, 1/a) were used.
This track is intended to help composers to familiarise themselves with the chords available in 5-limit harmony.
For example, (3, 4, 5) is a (G, C, E') major triad in the second inversion. It is otonal, and its utonal counterpart is (1/5, 1/4, 1/3) = (12, 15, 20) which is (G, B', E') minor triad in the first inversion.
The rules for including a chord (a, b, c) were:

David RyanExample track with noodling around the otonal and utonal harmonic seriesThis track is an example of using the harmonic series itself as a scale. Frequencies are accessed directly by specifying 6 7 8 9 10 multiplied by a set number (e.g. 30) to give direct frequencies such as 180 210 240 270 300 Hz.
It is in four parts of 8 bars each
- Simple harmonics (otonal)
- Complex harmonics
- Inverted simple harmonics (utonal)
- Inverted complex harmonics
It was created using:

- Octave for turning CSV sequence file into WAV

'Comma Travel' means that local sections of the Prelude and Fugue were specified using simple justly intoned ratios, but the whole piece was stitched together by (from time-to-time) specifying commas, that is, microtonal intervals which make the...

As well as being one of my favourite pieces of music, I thought it would be worthwhile to demonstrate that this music sounds just as interesting (maybe more interesting!) in Just Intonation (JI), where exclusively rationally-spaced intervals are used.

Although Etudes are usually technical exercises, Chopin's are special since they are immensely listenable with intricate harmonies.
I have retuned Chopin's harmony to have much more than 12 notes to the scale. More to come (hopefully soon!) about the notes which have been used. Concisely, the major and minor triads and sevenths have almost everywhere been preserved, and Chopin's use of sequences leads the harmony down very interesting and long paths in...
