Thank you so much for posting this! Since I heard Ives's "3 Quarter-Tone Pieces," I've fallen in love with quarter-tone music. If you just accept it instead of trying to pigeon-hole it into some arbitrary standard of Western music, you can see how lyrical and beautiful microtonal music can be.

Hi guys.

The piano is NOT out of tune.

It is accorded - as indicated on the first line of the score itself - in quarter of tones.

If you look attentively at this first line. quarter of tones are indicated with special signs as well as along all the score.

What a surprise for me!

That tone,,,,, so distorted

[krojax45]

The piano is a little out of tune. Rather sloping music. Typical for modern piano pieces.

[krojax45]

This is apparently a quarter-tone piano

[TrickyOne3]

@krojax45 There are two pianos each tuned a quarter step apart.
