comment by Darreg

Here is a comment from Ivor Darreg from his translation of
Vyshnegradski's _Quartertone Harmony_ in Xenharmonicon #6:

"Investigations conducted in recent years by this translator have
shown that a cluster of all 24 quartertones is not so dissonant as
the familiar cluster of all twelve semitones..."

Does this make any sense?? Would there be any acoustical reason for
that??

Thanks!

Joseph

Hello Joseph!
Maybe the effect is similar to how a C6 chord can sound more consonant that a C

****Hmmm. Thanks, Kraig. That's definitely something to think
about...
