I understand that, Paul ... but if one is trying to ascertain the potential rational basis behind Schoenberg's work, how does one decide which unison-vectors are valid and which are not? Schoenberg was very clear about what he felt were the "overtone" implications of the diatonic scale (and later, the chromatic as well), but as I showed in my posts, the only "obvious" 5-limit unison-vector is the syntonic comma, and it seemed to me that there always needed to be *two* 5-limit unison-vectors in order to have a matrix of the proper size (so that it's square). (I realize that by transposition it need not be a 5-limit UV, but I'm not real clear on what else *could* be used, except for the 56:55 example Gene used.) > > This reference to you is only meant to credit you for opening > > my eyes to the strong meantone basis behind a good portion of > > the "common-practice" European musical tradition. > > OK -- but you're confusing two completely unrelated facts -- that > 128:125 is just in 1/4-comma meantone, and that 128:125 is one of the > simplest unison vectors for defining a 12-tone periodicity block. OK, I'm willing to take note of your point, but ... *why* are these two facts "completely unrelated"? Isn't it possible that there *is* some relation between them that no-one has noticed before? -monz _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Also, Graham's explanation here is of the matrix which I believe is a good candidate for modeling Schoenberg's 1911 theory. Can someone please expand on what Graham says and show what it might have to do with Schoenberg's adoption of 12-EDO as his preferred tuning? I've shown that Schoenberg rejected microtonality on practical grounds (lack of instruments, impact on his own financial situation, etc.), but his acceptance of 12-EDO eventually became so strong that, in addition to the known numerological motives behind many of his choices, my hunch is that there's probably a strong aesthetic motive as well, and an explanation like this would help to formulate that. Just trying to make sure that I understand this stuff. Thanks. -monz _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at Yahoo! Mail Setup *

But now let's try to find the other unison-vector we need from Schoenberg's musical examples. If our 1/1 is called "C", in his overtone diagram, Schoenberg calls "Eb" the "6th overtone [= 7th harmonic] of F", so that its ratio is 7/6. But then Schoenberg leaves the discussion of implied 7- and higher-limit harmonies to the later chapters, and devotes several chapters to explaining the diatonic major scale and its harmonies, using C as a reference pitch and C-majoras the reference scale and key. The diagram immediately before the one referred to above is one in which he derives the diatonic major scale from the first 6 harmonics of F, C, and G : 5:3-----5:4----15:8 A E B / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ 4:3-----1:1-----3:2-----9:8 F C G D This is standard stuff, going back to Zarlino (1558). And as everyone here knows, a description of standard diatonic chord progressions is going to bump into the syntonic comma wherever a II-V progression is found, which would imply a new D on our lattice at 10/9. According to the expanded diagram of Schoenberg's explanation of the overtone theory on p 23 [p 24 in Carter] (going up to the 12th harmonics), the one I refer to at the beginning, the 81:80 syntonic comma is already a part of the system anyway. He shows A as the 5th and 10th harmonics of F and as the 9th harmonic of G, which are the ratios 81:20 and 81:40, which in turn are the syntonic comma plus 2 "8ves" and 1 "8ve" respectively. So we already have the unison-vector of 81:80 = [-4 4 1] included in our kernel. Schoenberg first introduces chromatic pitches in the chapter "Die Molltonart" [p 110-128 in the original edition, p 95-111 in the Carter edition]: F# and G# in the context of A-minor. To me, his explanation clearly implies a basis somewhere between meantone and 5-limit JI: A-minor is seen as the relative of C-major, so the note A is ~5/3. G# is always regarded as a "leading-tone" and is assumed to be a consonant ~5/4 above the "dominant" E, which is assumed to be ~3/2 above the tonic A. F# is always ~5/4 above D, the "subdominant", which is assumed to be ~4/3 above the tonic A; thus, the 10/9 version of D is the one in effect here. So our diatonic minor-scale paradigm lattice is: 25:18----( )---25:16 F# G# / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ 10:9----5:3-----5:4----15:8 D A E B \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / 4:3-----1:1-----3:2 F C G and again the syntonic comma is in effect because, according to Schoenberg's list of available minor-key chords on p 115 [p 99 in Carter], B can also be 50/27, F# can also be 45/32, and D can still also be 9/8. In a tiny handful of examples Schoenberg also introduces C# as a sharpened "3rd" (= ~5/4) in the II chord in the key of G-major. So altogether up to this point we have this lattice: 50:27---25:18---25:24---25:16 B F# C# G# \ / \ / \ / \ \ / \ / \ / \ 10:9----5:3-----5:4----15:8---45:32 D A E B F# \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / 4:3-----1:1-----3:2-----9:8 F C G D These are the only pitches implied in any of Schoenberg's explanations until the chapter "Modulation" [p 169-198 in the original edition, p 150-174 in the Carter edition]. Thus, excluding the prefatory chapters on aesthetics, about 1/3 of _Harmonielehre_ devoted to discussion of this simple harmonic paradigm. On p 184 [p 161 in Carter], music example number 110, we see a D# in a musical example for the first time in _Harmonielehre_. The first chord is a C-major triad, or I in the key of C-major, which Schoenberg also designates simultaneously as VI in E-minor. The second chord is a V in E-minor, which is a B-major triad, and so its ~5/4 is D# 75/64 : 50:27---25:18---25:24---25:16---75:64 B F# C# G# D# \ / \ / \ / \ / \ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ 10:9----5:3-----5:4----15:8---45:32 D A E B F# \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / 4:3-----1:1-----3:2-----9:8 F C G D So comparing this D# 75/64 with our Eb 7/6, now we finally have a canditate for another 7-limit unison-vector, namely 225:224 = [-5 2 2 -1] . So as of p 184 in _Harmonielehre_, we can construct as system valid for Schoenberg's theories, as follows: kernel 2 3 5 7 11 unison vectors ~cents [ 1 0 0 0 0 ] = 2:1 0 [-5 2 2 -1 0 ] = 225:224 7.711522991 [-4 4 -1 0 0 ] = 81:80 21.5062896 [ 6 -2 0 -1 0 ] = 64:63 27.2640918 [-5 1 0 0 1 ] = 33:32 53.27294323 adjoint [ 12 0 0 0 0 ] [ 19 1 2 -1 0 ] [ 28 4 -4 -4 0 ] [ 34 -2 -4 -10 0 ] [ 41 -1 -2 1 12 ] determinant = | 12 | mapping of ETs to UVs [ 12 -7 12 0 12 ] [ 0 1 0 1 -2 ] [ 0 0 0 0 1 ] [ 0 0 0 1 0 ] [ 0 0 1 0 0 ] This last matrix shows that 12-ET maps all of the unison-vectors except 225:224 to 0 or 12 (i.e., unison), correct? And that the last three do not temper out the 81:80, 64:63, and 33:32 respectively, correct? Further illumation would be appreciated. -monz _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at Yahoo! Mail Setup *

But even Partch didn't require such accuracy. I understand that he couldn't tell the difference between his scale and either 41-tET or 72-tET versions of it.

But the question seems fairly irrelevant of any temperament, since no-one I know wants to have as many as 72 notes per octave on a keyboard or fretboard and no composer I know wants to have to deal with that many notes (choosing always some more manageable subset). Also I don't find it likely that anyone would want to play Partch's scale in more than one "key" per piece. A more relevant question is how many notes of a given temperament does it take to include _one_ version of Partch's scale (without conflating any notes)? Since Partch's scale contains the 11-limit diamond, if I'm reading your cryptic lists of numbers correctly, the answer for hemiennealimmal cannot be less than (2*3+1)*18 = 126.

Something I got from Graham. (I've been searching for an hour in both the tuning-math and tuning archives, and in my private emails, looking for it, and unfortunately can't find it!) He explained how the adjoint shows the mapping, and included this after it. Here's how it works: ... Oh no! My bad! That last one, the "mapping" matrix, was supposed to look like this: [ 1 0 0 0 0 ] [ 0 1 0 0 0 ] [ 0 0 1 0 0 ] [ 0 0 0 1 0 ] [ 0 0 0 0 1 ] I don't know what happened to give me that wrong matrix, and I'm glad Gene asked about it, because otherwise I wouldn't have realized that I made an error. Anyway, this is how it works: Look again at the first two matrices (the kernel and its adjoint). I divide the number from each successive row of the left column of the adjoint by the determinant, to get the proper numbers of the inverse, then multiply each of those quotients by each respective number in the top row of the kernel, add all of those products, and put the sum in the top row of the left column of the new "mapping" matrix. Then I go thru the left column of the inverse again, this time multiplying each row of that column by each number in the second row of the kernel, and put that sum down in the second row of the left column of the "mapping matrix". And so on for all the other rows of that column. Then repeat the same procedure for the second column-vector of the adjoint; the third column-vector of the adjoint; etc. So, using this example, the top row of the kernel is the vector for 2:1 = [ 1 0 0 0 0 ], so the left column of the inverse multiplied by this row gives (12/12)*1 and everything else times zero, so the sum is 1, which is set down as the first number of the left column. The next operation multiplies the left column of the inverse with the second row of the kernel: [ 12/12 ] * [-5 2 2 -1 0 ] [ 19/12 ] [ 28/12 ] [ 34/12 ] [ 41/12 ] = -5 + 19/6 + 28/6 - 17/6 + 0 = 0 So a zero is set down in the second row of the left column. And so on. According to what I remember Graham saying, correlating each row of the "mapping" matrix with the corresponding row of the kernel, each column of this "mapping" matrix shows which unison-vector is not tempered out by the temperament shown in the corresponding column of the adjoint. Thus, the "1" in the top row of the left column shows that the 12-tET does not temper out the 2:1 (?), the "1" in the second row of the second column shows that the [ 0 ] [ 1 ] [ 4 ] [ -2 ] [ -1 ] temperament does not temper out the 225:224, etc. Gene or Graham, can you explain what's going on here? And Paul: based on my summaries of _Harmonielehre_, do you agree with me that this PB accurately describes Schoenberg's theory up to at least p 184 of that book? -monz _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message: 6370 Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2002 00:27:34 Subject: more questions about adjoints and mappings From: monz Here's a simple example: Ellis's Duodene kernel 2 3 5 unison vectors ~cents [ 1 0 0 ] = 2:1 1200 [ -4 4 -1 ] = 81:80 21.5062896 [ 7 0 -3 ] = 128:125 41.05885841 adjoint [ -12 0 0 ] [ -19 -3 1 ] [ -28 0 4 ] determinant = | -12 | "mapping" of UVs [ 1 0 0 ] [ 0 1 0 ] [ 0 0 1 ] So here, I can see that the h12 mapping does not temper out the 2:1 ... and I still don't understand what that means. Is it simply because any "8ve"-based ET must include 2:1 by definition? I can also see that the third column of the adjoint specifies some kind of meantone, which tempers out the 2:1 and the 81:80, but not the diesis 128:125. Is there a way to tell what flavor of meantone it is? And the middle column of the adjoint specifies some temperament which does not temper out the 81:80. But can someone explain what kind of tuning this is? -monz _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at Yahoo! Mail Setup *

Well, for the time being, I'll call them h0, g0, f0, and e0, respectively from left to right, so that: h0(2/1) = h0(81/80) = h0(63/64) = h0(33/32) = 0 , h0(225/224) = 1 g0(2/1) = g0(225/224) = g0(63/64) = g0(33/32) = 0 , g0(81/80) = 1 f0(2/1) = f0(225/224) = f0(81/80) = f0(33/32) = 0 , f0(64/63) = 1 e0(2/1) = e0(225/224) = e0(81/80) = e0(64/63) = 0 , e0(33/32) = 1 So, the 2nd and 4th column-vectors in the adjoint (h0 and f0, respectively) define two versions of meantone: - one (h0) in which 7 maps to the "minor 7th" = -2 generators, and which tempers out all the UVs except 225/224; - one (f0) in which 7 maps to the "augmented 6th" = +10 generators, and which tempers out all the UVs except 64/63; and both of which map 11 to the "perfect 4th" = -1 generator. But what about the 3rd and 5th column-vectors in the adjoint (g0 and e0, respectively)? What tunings are they? I don't get it. And what relevance to these other mappings have to Schoenberg's theory? -monz _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at Yahoo!

Is it simply because any "8ve"-based > ET must include 2:1 by definition? Tempering out the 2:1 is the same as enforcing octave equivalence. ETs aren't octave-equivalent. In 12-equal, a unison is 0 steps, an octave is 12 steps and two octaves are 24 steps. These certainly aren't the same. > I can also see that the third column of the adjoint > specifies some kind of meantone, which tempers out > the 2:1 and the 81:80, but not the diesis 128:125. > Is there a way to tell what flavor of meantone it is? No, because all you asked is for an octave-equivalent temperament that tempers out the 81:80. All meantones do that. You could set the enharmonic diesis to be just, following the method I outline in <Linear temperaments from matrix formalism *> and that happens to give quarter-comma meantone. > And the middle column of the adjoint specifies some > temperament which does not temper out the 81:80. > But can someone explain what kind of tuning this is? It's an octave-equivalent tuning that tempers out the enharmonic diesis. That's the difference between three 5:4 major thirds and an octave. So, if you temper it out, the octave must divide into three equal parts, each of which can be called a 5:4. The column tells you that by having a GCD of 3, and a zeros in the 2:1 and 5:1 rows. The 3:1 column doesn't have a zero in it, so you can choose whatever size for a fifth you like. It's independent of the major third and octave. Graham
