Re: [MMM] Re: Monzo: _Etude in F#_ for piano (1985)

thanks for your comments, Joe.

yes, the tuning JdL arrived at here is kind of weird,
but hey, it's microtonal ... and SOUNDS microtonal!

JdL actually did a few "stretch" versions which i
liked better better on some pieces and less on others
... i'll get around to making mp3s of this piece in
stretched adaptive-JI too.

... and, for completeness, i suppose i should make
one in 12edo as well.

***Why, of course, Monz, but, on the other hand, the tuning has to
fit with the *style* and I wasn't totally convinced in this case...
