The documented history comes from European church music; early folk music may have been different, but there is no way of knowing. But when keyboard instruments became usable, around 1500, tuning became a problem. Working through a circle of perfect 5ths to tune an early harpsichord or organ produced the Pythagorean comma: Starting on middle C and tuning 7 perfect 5ths, the ending C is not a perfect octave. If you use a system of perfect 3rds, then you wind up dealing with the syntonic comma.<br/><br/>So various tempered systems developed to work around the comma. &lt;insert ½ semester on early keyboard tunings&gt; I have tuned instruments in meantone and Werkmeister III systems. The idea of everything except octaves being &#34;not pure&#34; was a compromise to allow music to be played in any key. <br/><br/>The piano mechanism we know was developed by Erard in 1821, and improved through the early 19th century. In the 1840s, builders added a heavy iron frame to support high tension strings. &lt;insert ¼ semester section on the history of keyboard construction&gt;<br/><br/>The final decision to use A440 as a standard was only settled upon in 1939. Early music performers sometimes use A415 or A435.<br/><br/>(/music historian, organist, instrument builder) 2025-12-24T20:05:29Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgy28v8q9yjq9nyre9v6weguzxwpwrl8knzwsd9k59n6m4urt6yhszyqa25dasgvy70krek69qs4yd5qnjxwt2fszny2znznxu500jpw0rkf8lult In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqzjl0fk8t00hz2rs6js6p8vlnuz0jqwmc2hfn0sjvpu0n5grfshqg2fr90'>nevent1q…fr90</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>They were saying the same things in the 1960s.

He was an astute man, especially for an economist.<br/><br/>As he told it, FDR and administration were scared that there would be a &#34;communist&#34; revolt that would tear the county apart. (And... would interfere with business.) That is the reason for FDR&#39;s programs to help people. In essence, it was a form of bribery: We help you out, so you don&#39;t overthrow the government. It worked for many decades, much to the disgust of the far right. <br/><br/>The Republicans, however, wanted to continue the financial hardships caused by Hoover. Poor, desperate people will do (almost) anything for food, which means the evil right-wing rich white male bastards can exploit them. Ever since the Depression, they have been trying to destroy everything from the New Deal. They want a nation of serfs.

Suffering and/or death from disease is &#34;God&#39;s will.&#34; (If this is the &#34;god&#34; you worship, you are one sick, evil *uckwad. Go back under your rock.)<br/><br/>They are apparently willing to sacrifice their own children to be damaged or die from preventable diseases, rather than vaccinate &#34;those people.&#34; (No nice things for the Untermensch.)<br/><br/>But...<br/>All their wealth will neither insulate them from illness, nor provide cures for the illnesses. (They do not understand &#34;antibiotic resistance.&#34; &#34;Sorry, sir, we have nothing that can treat this.&#34;)<br/><br/>(Getting a real Dickensian Scrooge vibe from these bastards. But they are more like the Calvinist Puritans. Back to the 17th century with a vengeance.)<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1u7xjae02krnf5teenaw0njg4n27a9zuqy7wgzfc2ytfq6ya3lcjsnhztt0" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>peachfront</span> (<span class="italic">npub1u7x…ztt0</span>)</a></span> 2024-07-30T18:19:26Z
