I strongly recommend Anita Sullivan's 'The Seventh Dragon, The Riddle of =
Equal Temperament'. For eloquence, perspective, understanding, insight, =
and beauty, you can't beat it. You will look at your own craft with new =
and more appreciative eyes for having read it.=20

  Anyone have a good source regarding Pythagoras and his contribution to =
tuning--especially the Pythagorean temperament.  I've studied =
Jorgenson's big red book (I happened to purchase one in 1994--even =
though I had little money at that time and less sense) and have gotten =
some information.  Any class notes, books, etc. would help.  I'm =
teaching a tuning class this fall and want to begin with a brief history =
of tuning.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Joy!
