Due to copyright issues i have to ask euro-piano (the european techicians journal) if i can scan my article from 1988, (which has been translated into 5 languages), to make it available online. As this journal number (3/1988) is no longer available from euro- piano, i see a good chance that they will give their general ok. If so, i put it on my homepage and send a note to the list when it is available. The main content of the article deals first with the discovery of the natural form of the fifths circle, which is in fact a circle of twelve duodecimes and nineteen octaves. This initial discovery is the key that allows the thinking in "duodecimes instead of ocaves" over the standard equal temperament or Serge Cordier´s "pure fifths instead of octaves" method. This is very different from making "every interval sounding as pure as possible" as proposed in the Schulze article from 1982. The 1988 original "Stopper-Stimmung" method described in this article starts with setting up the temperament duodecime(P12) with a spanner tool (which compensates inharmonicity then, see picture on my homepage) and fitting in the temperament with a protocol of your choice into this duodecime interval and proceeding as further described. The aural OnlyPure method was introduced in 2004 and is a refined temperament setup with the use of "pure tuned" three note combinations of fourths/fifths and octaves/fifths, delivering an exact slope (not only smoothness) of interval progression, which is more difficult to obtain with the standard two note protocols whithin an octave. regards, Bernhard Stopper Am 08.03.2009 um 03:19 schrieb John Formsma: > On Sat, Mar 7, 2009 at 2:06 PM, Bernhard Stopper <b98tu at t-online.de> > wrote: > > I am actually preparing the aural Onlypure method for publication. > > > > I thought you did that back in 1998.
