Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata - Harmonic "Earth" tuning vs Equal Temperament by Chakra9 published on 2022-03-22T07:30:45Z Six versions of the same performance, tuned slightly differently. In reverse order from the current equal temperament standard to my latest/greatest harmonic Earth-tuning attempt. (see the notes on the track for the actual frequencies and cent offsets). Which feels best to you? 1. The same as number 2, but I've let go of of the notion that A has to equal 432 Hz. Never fear, the number 43.2 shows up as an octave of F (43.2 x 8 = 345.6 H, our F frequency). (get's a bit funky at 3:24!) 2. This version builds on 3 and 4, using the frequency of a day for G, and an hour for D, to create a harmonic scale which reflects the harmonics of our turning globe. (less funky at 3:24!). 3. A refinement of the 4th one - using a slightly different combination of 3rd and 5th harmonics. 4. A harmonic tuning I developed based on natural resonances such as the ancient helek (3.33333 of today's seconds) equivalent to the time it takes our Earth to rotate 1/72nd of a degree, as an E-flat. 5. Equal Temperament, where A = 432 Hz. (Even this gets a little weird at 3:24, so you might as well have the "Earth Tuning"!) 6. The "standard" equal temperament tuning introduced in the 1930s, where the A note = 440 Hz.
