Talk:72 equal temperament

theoretical properties
The "theoretical properties" section is "original research", unreferenced and poorly written. The crass use of the term "tuning theory", as if speaking of some well-known or established school, applied to the tuning theory of a handful of relatively isolated people, is not acceptable. This section has had "citation needed" flags for a while and now has a "personal essay" tag. I'll give a few more weeks and if noone steps forward to defend it, erase.

I've looked at the Wikipedia pages on what can be linked to, and see absolutely no reason why these cannot be linked to. I'm going to revert unless someone can point to something which says this should not be done. Gene Ward Smith 01:58, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Contemporary composers
I would strongly suggest that the author find out more about present-day composers who are employing 72 ET. Several fairly prominent German composers have explored these resources extensively, and the articles discussing these developments do not appear at all in the bibliography.

My solo cello work Recoil treats 72 ET serially; this work has been performed over a hundred times in about 12 countries. I have discussed 72 ET in several articles in the Wolke Verlag book series, New Music Aesthetics in the 21st century; in vol. 6, I present an extended analysis of Recoil.

 * Wikipedia articles usually have more than one author, as does this one. You may check this for any one article by clicking "Page history", which will show you a list of edits and editors. As such, you may edit the page yourself and add notable composers (preferably not yourself). Hyacinth (talk) 17:24, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Interval table shading
Why are random intervals in the Interval size table shaded or darker than other intervals in the table? Hyacinth (talk) 17:57, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
