Doesn't anyone pay attention?? We have the ability to LOOK up music theory for the greatest overall understanding of music, on an individual basis! And yet, none of you techno-geeks seem willing to put forth the EFFORT to learn how to do this! What is that???? To assume that every theoretical question of a specific historical era is exactly the same is just down-right STUPID! I'm sorry and I apologize for being so sarcastic, but this is one of those subjects that really pushes ALL of my buttons! PLEASE, learn the theory or DO NOT TUNE???!! You're not up to the task, imho. <br> </PRE></SPAN></div> </font>
