Experiment with Unequal Temperament at Emerson College Liszt Soirée de Vienne
I don't know if the nasty chord at 00:06 is my tuning, the piano or the temperament. ) Encouraged by results of tuning the piano at Hammerwood Park in an ...
@Dadagnos Hi! I'm very sorry but this was ruined by my hasty attention to
tuning that day. The B below middle C was badly set and carried through
many of the octaves. However, otherwise the instrument is in an Unequal
Temperament rather than Equal Temperament - a Good Temperament as was
common from Bach's time to the mid 19th Century. There is discussion about
this on the Pianoworld website forum with links to many more recordings. I
tuned "tierce" harmonics to good 3rds and "nazards" to 5ths
@Dadagnos The temperament has 7 or 8 pure fifths and produces nearly pure
3rds in Bb F C and from memory possibly G. So bass strings F# Db Ab and Eb
have the 5 harmonics tuned to match the middle octave Bb F C and G whilst
the other notes have their 6th harmonic tuned to accord with their
respective perfect 5ths. This system seems to make the instrument jangle
like a fortepiano in loud passages which I don't like. However I did it to
experiment in reinforcing the temperament.
Nice. Who's playing it? And how did you tune it than if I may ask? It
sounds very calm. Does this tuning involves giving certain intervals more
space than others? Or did you arrange the overtones in a way that they
overlapped?... I'm very much interested since I'm studying to become a
pianotechnician in Amsterdam and to me this might just be the most
beautiful tuning I've heard so far. Greetings, David
