Forensics apropos of the brain dead.
For a more lively debate consider,
"Western music now exists under the dictatorship of this one
homogenized temperament."p4
"The accoustical truth is that in history {tuning} as one quality
was gained, another virtue was sacrificed."
"The gain for equal temperament (sic) is a homogenized grey
coloring.....
No variety during modulation is the equal-tempered ideal. The
qualities sacrificed ... are harmoniousness (tonality) in the common
keys, key-color..., and the "character" of keys.
"The basic philosophy of the twentieth century equal temperament is
to promote atonality..." p 6-9
