[Hornlist] Common Intonation woes, Atonal......Overtone series.

Auditions are different then competitions. I agree play what you do best. But at some point to win a competition at a high school or college level when it is a competition for all instruments you need to have everything in place, musicality and virtuosity. Debbie On 5/20/07 10:24 AM, Steve

I don't (Bah Humbug!). There's nothing like a chord that locks in so there are no beats. Note that Bach did NOT write for even temperament. He wrote for Well Temperament, which is between just and even temperament. Herb Foster --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ... I'm with Bach--I like tempered

From: Steve Burian [EMAIL PROTECTED] An F# in the key of D major might be as much as 30 cents higher than the Gb in the key of Eb minor. A good thought, Steve, but you stated it exactly backwards. A just major third is about 386 cents and a just monor third is about 316 cents.
