hey monz,

if you'd read jorgenson, and if i'm not mistaken, you'd know that "gleichschwebende Temperatur" refers to equal-beating temperaments, not to equal temperament.

also, i don't think herman miller wrote in 21-equal prior to 2000 -- perhaps even later. herman?

also, under 72-equal, Evgeny Alexandrovich Murzin created a 72-tET synthesizer between 1938 and 1958. Among the composers to write for it were Andrei Volkonsky and Nikolai Nikolsky and Eduard Artemiev and Alexander Nemtin and Andrei Eshpai and Gennady Gladkov and Pyotr Meshchianinov and Stanislav Kreichi -- see Anton Rovner's article in TMA.

later,
paul

Other than my 21-equal retuning of Galticeran (in 2001), I haven't yet done
anything with 21-equal. The original 1986 version of Galticeran was for
12-TET piano. Although I had limited success with 15-equal and 22-equal
retunings, I prefer the 21-equal version.
