  • I enjoyed listening to this Dr.Patel! I am a language teacher and I got interested in the connections that you showed

  • @kratanuva725 If you want a source, play an instrument that can correct away from a fixed temperament.

  • @kratanuva725 Any practicing musician plays an instrument that has the capacity to do so will correct away from any fixed temperament. All temperaments are theoretical devices which for any musicians except keyboard music are simply starting points. They are attempts to fix what for anything but keyboards cannot be fixed.

    Pythagorean may have been the dominant THEORETICAL system, but that doesn't mean it was used in actual practice, when keyboards became dominant it was soon discarded.

  • @DarkwingScooter Source? It was used in the middle ages, quite possibly alongside super-pythagorean tunings. (See 17-tone Puzzle and the Neo-medieval Key That Unlocks It by George Secor)

  • @adraim69 Thanks

  • Why do all theorists always go on about Pythagorean tuning in Western classical music. Pythagorean tuning was NEVER practically employed as a tuning system even in ancient Greece. The Pythagorean tuning system was and is only a device to study ratios in number as they reflected in physical reality.

    It irritates me immensely because this seemingly simple assumption leads to a lot of crazy ideas, like that the fourth is not found in the harmonic series.

  • "booby/booty king" 9:15 haha freudian slip?

  • Wow, someone has manage to make music boring.

  • a good study for listining to music
