RE: [MMM] Cirrus & Pileus

How are the two pianos tuned? Does one have twelve of the seventeen
tones per octave and the other have the rest, or what?

I listened to this again and I liked it this time in isolation. I think
in the concert I must have gotten fatigued by all the 17tet to the point
where I couldn't hear the good stuff in each piece anymore. Perhaps in a
future project like this it would be a good idea to interleave some
familiarly tuned music into concert. This would give the audience an
opportunity to relax and recharge between the more exotic stuff.

As I understand it, one is tuned to a circle of fifths starting on F,
and the other is tuned to a circle of fourths starting on B, so that
the naturals line up on both pianos but one piano has all flats and
the other has all sharps.
