Hans-Karl Piltz (1923–2020) Professor Hans-Karl Piltz was a talented violist and teacher who helped shape the School of Music as it evolved from a small Bachelor of Arts program in the late 1950s to the large and thriving School it is today. He was 96 years old when he passed away this April. Prof. Piltz loved teaching, and in 1959 joined the UBC Department of Music — as the School of Music was then known. As Professor of Viola, he mentored several generations of strings musicians who have gone on to long and successful careers in orchestras and as soloists in North America, Europe, and all over the world. He founded and directed the UBC Symphony Orchestra from 1959–1970 and also helped found the Vancouver Society for Early Music — now known as Early Music Vancouver — in 1969.

  • String Quartet 2 Notes.Odt
    i Notes on the Scordatura Tuning This string quartet is written in an 11-limit just intonation system based on a Bb fundamental. To facilitate this a scordatura system has been designed wherein the strings of each instrument are tuned to harmonics of the Bb overtone series. The base ratios for each pitch are listed in the table below with their corresponding cent values relative to the fundamental. They are ordered by their distance from the fundamental. Pitch Bb Db D E1/4b F Ab Ratio and 1/1 = 0 c 7/6 = 266.8 c 5/4 = 386.3 c 11/8 = 551.3 c 3/2 = 702 c 7/4 = 968.8 c Cents (c) To further facilitate the scordatura tuning the following chart shows the desired frequency values in Hertz (Hz) for each string on each instrument. Instrument String IV String III String II String I Cello Bb 1 = 58.27 Hz F 2 = 87.405 Hz D 3 = 145.675 Hz Ab 3 = 203.945 Hz Viola Bb 2 = 116.54 Hz F 3 = 174.81 Hz Db 4 = 271.927 Hz Ab 4 = 407.89 Hz Violin II F 3 = 174.81 Hz Db 4 = 271.927 Hz Ab 4 = 407.89 Hz E1/4b = 640.97 Hz Violin I F 3 = 174.81 Hz D 4 = 291.35 Hz Ab 4 = 407.89 Hz E1/4b = 640.97 Hz The Cellist should tune their C string down to the desired Bb fundamental. Then they should tune the other strings to the 3rd (F), 5th (D), 7th (Ab) and 11th (E1/4b) harmonics of the "Bb string." Once all of the players have tuned their strings which correspond to harmonics of the Bb overtone series the second Violin and the Viola may tune the D string down to the 7/6 Db minor third by tuning it as a perfect 5th below the Ab string (7/4).
