Re: [JustIntonation] Comparative Tuning of Debussy’s Arabesque No. 1.

Thanks Steve and Marcel,

For what it is worth I've added 6 more tunings. What amazes me is how some
of the tunings tease out a bit of Gershwin here and there. Or perhaps its
more proper to say its George who re-interpeted Claude.

Here is the Pythagorean version:
https://soundcloud.com/justintonation/debussy-arabesque-no-1-in

It uses 16 notes per octave from Bb to Fx.
(missed the Bb when I first looked at the score, it only occurs once).
Sorry for the not so fantastic piano sample, may redo it later with a
better piano.

Kind regards,
Marcel
