Susan, thanks for choosing a specific example. I took the begining of the piece and ran it through a spectral analysis so that I could extract each of the fundemental frequiencies:


This is the very first phrase (4 measures)

B                                                                                      A
G#    A# G# F# E F# G# A           G# F# A G# F# E D# E F#     B


B - G# =1.2
B - A =1.16 (1.167)
B - F# =1.38 (1.4)
B - E = 1.5

A - D# = 1.39 (1.4)
A -E = 1.33
A - F# = 1.19 (1.2)


The intervals in (brackets) are the theoretically just intervals, everything else hit dead on; that's why it sounds so pleasing. I don't know what else to say . . . they are just intervals.
