    Karolin Stange,∗ Christoph Wick,† Playing Music in Just and Haye Hinrichsen∗∗ ∗Hochschule fur¨ Musik, Intonation: A Dynamically Hofstallstraße 6-8, 97070 Wurzburg,¨ Germany Adaptive Tuning Scheme †Fakultat¨ fur¨ Mathematik und Informatik ∗∗Fakultat¨ fur¨ Physik und Astronomie †∗∗Universitat¨ Wurzburg¨ Am Hubland, Campus Sud,¨ 97074 Wurzburg,¨ Germany Web: www.just-intonation.org [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: We investigate a dynamically adaptive tuning scheme for microtonal tuning of musical instruments, allowing the performer to play music in just intonation in any key. Unlike other methods, which are based on a procedural analysis of the chordal structure, our tuning scheme continually solves a system of linear equations, rather than relying on sequences of conditional if-then clauses. In complex situations, where not all intervals of a chord can be tuned according to the frequency ratios of just intonation, the method automatically yields a tempered compromise. We outline the implementation of the algorithm in an open-source software project that we have provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the tuning method. The first attempts to mathematically characterize is particularly pronounced if m and n are small. musical intervals date back to Pythagoras, who Examples include the perfect octave (m:n = 2:1), noted that the consonance of two tones played on the perfect fifth (3:2), and the perfect fourth (4:3). a monochord can be related to simple fractions Larger values of mand n tend to correspond to more of the corresponding string lengths (for a general dissonant intervals.

  • A Brief, Comprehensive History of the Cordovox and Other Electronic Accordions” by Fabio G
    “A Brief, Comprehensive History of the Cordovox and other electronic accordions” By Fabio G. Giotta Many technical and musical geniuses poured their hearts and souls in to the design and production of these amazing instruments whose electronic technology originated in the late 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s; the Ages of Technology, Space and Jet Travel. The acoustic accordion technology (typically 15,000 parts in a full size instrument) spans from roughly 1900 through the age of its electronic counterparts. This article endeavors to correct some of the rampant inaccuracies and invalid opinions about the Cordovox and other electronic accordions found on the World Wide Web, including some of the statements posted at Google Answers, and errant statements by some Ebay sellers and non-accordion oriented retailers, including musical instrument shops. Herein, I opine and make a combination of declarations, observations, and well-educated guesses based on my own personal experience with these instruments, continuing interaction with accordion industry experts such as: Gordon Piatanesi (Colombo & Sons Accordions-San Francisco, CA), Joe Petosa (Petosa Accordions-Seattle, WA), The curators of the Museo Internazionale Della Fisarmonica-Castelfidardo, Italia (International Museum of the Accordion), including Paolo Brandoni (Brandoni & Sons Accordions-General Accordion Co.), Fabio Petromilli (Comune of Castelfidardo), Beniamino Bugiolacchi-Museum President, and their colleagues Maestro Gervasio Marcosignori, concert accordionist, arranger, recording artist, and former Director of Instrument Development for Farfisa S.p.A.

Quantifying Harmony and Dissonance in Piano Intervals and Chords Michael Blatnik Senior Honors Project Submitted in partial fulfillment of the graduation requirements of the Westover Honors Program Westover Honors Program April, 2011 Dr. John Eric Goff Committee chair Dr. Chinthaka Liyanage Dr. Nancy Cowden 2 Abstract The level of dissonance in piano intervals and chords was quantified using both experimental and computational methods. Intervals and chords were played and recorded on both a Yamaha YPT-400 portable keyboard and a Steinway & Sons grand piano. The recordings were run through spectral analyses, and dissonance values were calculated using a dissonance equation. The result was a ranking of comparative dissonance levels between each chord and interval. Though the goal was to find a universal ranking of chords, it was instead determined that such a ranking cannot exist. The non-universal rankings revealed that the transition from least dissonant to most dissonant was gradual.

  • Musical Instruments for the Music Unit
    Chapter XI Instruments and Equipment Nicholas DeCarbo, Associate Dean Frost School of Music, University of Miami It goes without saying that music units need considerable equipment such as acoustical shells, staging, risers, chairs, music stands, podiums, instrument storage cabinets, laboratory workstations, music library systems, audio systems, and quality instruments. All music programs also need equipment devoted to technology, including hardware, software, and furniture. Because of advances in technology, music units use an array of electronic keyboard instruments for piano labs, classrooms, recording studios, music technology centers, and faculty studio/offices. Of course, music units also continue to need traditional acoustic instruments, such as concert grand pianos, upright pianos, harps, contra clarinets, English horns, contrabassoons, a full complement of percussion instruments, and sousaphones for the marching band. According to the Higher Education Arts Data Survey (HEADS), 474 public and private accredited and nonaccredited music units in the United States reported spending an average of $53,440 on equipment, $16,336 on leases and rentals, and $9,861 on repair during 2004–5. During that same period, 358 music units reported spending an average of $17,051 on technology. This chapter discusses the planning process needed for the purchase and/or lease of equipment, instruments, and technology-related items, along with guidelines for maintaining inventories. Planning for Equipment and Instrument Purchases Due to the lack of competition, the cost of equipment for performance venues, rehearsal spaces, and faculty studios is high compared to equipment purchases in many other areas of the university, excepting the sciences. Moreover, the music executive is often in the position of having to convince the higher administration that the needs are valid.
