Contemporary Tunings

Equal-tempered scales with a large number of tones are typically

used to play common tonal harmony with greater purity of

intervals and chords. The typical approach is to analyze a

passage (or less) of music and select tones from a scale that will

best approximate the desired pure intervals.

• 19 Tone: This scale has greater purity of minor thirds

and major thirds (and conversely, minor and major

sixths) than twelve-tone equal temperament. A

disadvantage is that perfect ﬁfths are narrower than

those found in twelve-tone equal temperament.
