Jack Campin delightful way to make music (39) RE: delightful way to make music 09 Jan 25

Meantone was an invention of the Renaissance where you tweaked the tuning of the scale to make the thirds sound better - which messes up the fourths and fifths slightly. It conflicts with the Pythagorean/mediæval/Turkish system. Singers accompanied by flexible-pitch instruments for post-1500 music (like a lot of trad material) often drift into meantone to get better chords.
