Get the music of Ives.. It will be a challenge for your ears.
Since it is Quartertone music it is 24 notes in an oktava instead of 12.
That makes chords extremely busy or the other way totally calm.
So much tension in the music.

But it must be hard to tune two pianos prefectly equal qartertone
differense...
PEQD!!

I have always wondered about "quarter tone" music esp on pianos.  How can
that be with only 12 notes to the octave?  Or do they tune two pianos a
quarter step apart?  Knowing nothing about this I wonder what other than ET
can quarter tone be tuned in?   ---ric
