<BR>I was between jobs today, listening to Debussy's Preludes in the comfort of my automobile, when a thought struck me: a true whole-tone scale can only be achieved in equal temperament. The percentage of difference between each like interval would have to be the same throughout the keyboard for a true whole-tone effect to be achieved. Then I realized that this subject is fodder for more enlightened minds than my own. Any theoretical or historical insights on this one??
