whoa, this is some crazy stuff. I don't think it sounds bad, but it's very fascinating to listen to.

Hi, thanks for uploading Hába, I particularly like this movement of this particular sonata, as it is a bit "more-than-Hába" because it is not as athematic as he usually is, and there are wonderful sonorities, especially near the end. I would dare to say, that the athematism od his work in combination with the unusual tuning, not the tuning alone!, might be the reason for listeners being not especially attracted to his work...
I can recomend his suite for quartertone guitar, it's melodicaly rich.

I love this work--I like listing to those quarter tone shifts in pitch! I wonder if the tone here-how they are divided--like regular 12 tone is half a tone--c to c sharp to d to d sharp etc...I wonder if this tuning simply splits a half tone in half so there are 24 tones--I know there are other tunings like Harry Partch has the 43 tone scale--I love this sonata thanks for putting it up!

yes man this is 24 tones, exact division of the 12 notes in half :)
