Which brings me to a question I have been dwelling on for a bit now. With
all this talk of the "colour" available in non-ET temperaments, can't it
and should'nt it be said that ET also provides its own particular kind of
colour quality, and that this is not to be found in any other temperament ?
You of course can get hung up on the idea that different keys yeilding
different levels of dissonance is the only real "colouring" and ET is void
of that, yet is it not also a kind of "colouring" to have ET's particular
even dissonance at hand ??
