Is the measure in question one which involves removing all factors of two, reducing to lowest form p/q, and taking max(p,q)?

Another possibility would be a variant on the Euclidean reduced scales I did once--minimal geometric complexity.

Har har har--little do you know, my friend! I first Tenney reduced in the range -35 to 36 steps, and shifted anything less than 1 up an octave. I then reduced this scale for minimum geometric complexity. Finally reduced it your way. The result in all three cases turns out to be *exactly the same*! Take that. :) I think under the circumstances I am justified in calling this the canonical 11-limit reduced 72-epimorphic JI scale, in whatever order you prefer those words in. ! red72_11.scl Canonical 11-limit reduced scale 72 ! 81/80 45/44 33/32 25/24 21/20 35/33 77/72 175/162 35/32 54/49 49/44 55/49 198/175 8/7 81/70 64/55 33/28 25/21 6/5 40/33 11/9 99/80 5/4 63/50 14/11 77/60 35/27 21/16 175/132 147/110 66/49 49/36 48/35 242/175 88/63 99/70 63/44 175/121 35/24 72/49 49/33 220/147 264/175 32/21 54/35 120/77 11/7 100/63 8/5 160/99 18/11 33/20 5/3 42/25 56/33 55/32 140/81 7/4 175/99 98/55 88/49 49/27 64/35 324/175 144/77 66/35 40/21 48/25 64/33 88/45 160/81 2/1

I see however it doesn't contain either a 9/8 or a 10/9, so I'd better check to see if I've totally goofed again.

i think the main reason harmonic analysis would be characterised as an "art" is precisely *because* of the ambiguity available to a composer like Brahms, whether his intended tuning is 12edo or a meantone (the only two likely possibilities for Brahms IMO). my point: that *temperament* allows composers to play the kinds of games ("punning") that aren't possible in JI. and of course JI is the tuning which offers the straightforward "scientific" approach to harmonic analysis. in reality, JI harmonic analysis is merely a lot simpler than those cases in which temperament must considered. but harmonic analysis of tempered music can indeed be put on a similarly scientific basis, which i think is mostly what's going on on this list every day. ... and yes, for the JI enthusiasts out there: it is certainly possible to compose harmonically ambiguous music in JI as well. as with temperaments, the business of periodicity-blocks and unison-vectors tells the story. but in contrast to temperaments, JI music like this *exposes* the tiny discrepancies rather than eliminates them. -monz

the term "pitch-class" was coined by Babbitt in his 1960 paper "Twelve-Tone Invariants as Compositional Determinants" (The Musical Quarterly, vol 46, p 247). thanks for asking about it, Carl ... it prompted me to add a citation to Babbitt in my definition: Definitions of tuning terms: pitch-class, (c) ... * [with cont.] (Wayb.)

Dante is right, Carl ... start at the beginning, with Schoenberg's _Suite for Piano, op. 25_ (1921-23), the first dodecaphonic serial piece. Arnold Schoenberg * [with cont.] (Wayb.) the introduction of serialism also ushered in Schoenberg's neoclassical style, which i never really cared for. the pieces he composed from then until his "temporary death" in 1946 are the ones of his which i like least. but then, *after* he was revived ... i'd say that by far the best introductions to Schoenberg's serial work are his two late compositions _String Trio_ (1946) and _A Survivor From Warsaw_ (1947). both of those should knock your socks off. (i've raved about both of them many times on these lists.) here's a good "list of works" with links to recordings, of Schoenberg's work: Arnold Schoenberg Recordings: List of Works * [with cont.] (Wayb.) then follow the development thru Berg and Webern. Berg's _Lyric Suite_ for string quartet (1925-26) was the first piece in which he used serialism (only in half of the six movements), and of course his opera _Lulu_ (1929-35, left unfinished at his death) and _Violin Concerto_ (1935) are masterpieces. (and of course there's also the non-serial opera _Wozzeck_, which you shouldn't miss if you're going to delve into this repertoire.) *see* the operas if possible. you can't get a proper understanding of Webern's life-work if you don't give enough attention to his vocal works, which make up more than half of his total output, and which unfortunately is exactly what has happened in the literature. but that said, the volume of literature with an analytical focus on Webern's _Symphonie, op. 21_ (1927-28) and _Piano Variations, op. 27_ (1935-36) does IMO do justice to the quality of those two pieces. in addition, his _String Quartet, op. 28_ (1936-38)is a marvel. Boulez's _Le Marteau Sans Maitre_ (19654-55) is a stunning virtuosic display of total serialism, and a piece which i absolutely love, and see live every time i find a performance of it. Babbitt's work is similarly virtuosic in compositional technique, and at the same time i find it very listenable. in particular, i like his _Three Compositions for Piano_ (1947) and _2nd String Quartet_ (1954). Babbitt is a huge fan of Broadway shows, and i think that somehow that populist lyricism breaks thru his convoluted theoretical apparatus. a lot more has happened since 1955, but those are pretty much the big "classics" of serialism. a good book offering an alternative theoretical summary to Forte's is George Perle's _Serial Composition and Atonality_, published originally in 1962.

i find that as the years pass and i listen to and study Webern and his music, it appeals to me more and more. this is something that also continues to be true of Mahler ... altho i certainly loved his music a lot right from the very beginning. but what i find interesting is that very parallel, because Webern admired Mahler with a fanaticism just like mine. i hope that means that people will continue to admire *my* compositions more and more as they study them! ;-) -monz

I knew Tenney would agree with "my way" if you shifted to -1/2 to 1/2 octaves. Didn't know about geo. complexity.

Thanks, Gene. I appreciate it.

Yes, it would seem so . . .

What's the 11-limit TM-reduced basis of 72-tET again?

I tried that one indeed, but it's very uneven. Also the triangular lattice size is larger than the scale I posted has. I wouldn't know how to assemble a PB from Kees' list. Manuel

In case the two uses of the term appear to come into conflict with one another, it's best to go over the historical explanation of where both usages come from -- and then you're done. There is no real conflict anyway because one definition applies to pure number and the other to physical phenomena, so at worst you'll have to explain which you're talking about (though it's usually obvious from the context). This strategy is going to lead to far better communication than attempting to alter the accepted definitions in either set of fields - - in the latter case you're going to be misunderstood by everyone in one of the sets of fields who comes across your writing without being aware that you've altered the definitions, because your context will indicate one definition but in fact you'll be using another. If you want to spend your time re-writing the entire dictionary so that no word has multiple meanings, that's noble. But you shouldn't then *expect* the entire world to suddenly change the language they've been speaking for hundreds of years. If I have something to say that I feel is important, I say it in terms that I feel will be understood correctly by the majority of likely listeners. If I have time, I define lots of terms to avoid any possible ambiguity. But we have to pick our battles. Changing language, especially when its origin can be traced historically and its development makes perfect sense and did not involve any errors, is simply too vast a battle for me to contemplate, even if I know I'll have you on my side. That's my opinion and to me it seems like the *least* arrogant approach, even though I'm sensing you have the opposite opinion of me right now.

Obviously 81/80 is simpler already. Sorry guys I'm behind.
