Then press the repeat track button, or place a reprise before the last measure and raise the pitch of the entire piece each time by a semitone up. What is it called, a rosalie?

Ah, you get the picture. So is the consequence of your wish.

The whole point of a delicacy is to let the savourer crave for it more without actually having the stomach for it.

i dont think so- the material there sounds like it could be extended quite a bit with very interesting results. but its your piece so its as long as you say it is!

That rockz!

I like the apparently slower tempo (than your version). I also
like the piece at the length it is. Would make fantastic
"station identification" piece for a microtonal radio station.

Or a blog theme. Thanks!

This is great!

It also proves yet again what a fine tuning 19-eq is, in spite of many
folks poo-pooing its properties 'on paper' (e.g. the fifths are too
flat, etc)

I agree with Ivor Darreg that 19-eq is a great place to start
exploring microtonality---it leaves off from 12-eq nicely, people can
write in that language 'with a twist', and there are not too many more
notes to deal with, so it's conceptually 'clean'.

Best,
Aaron

19-et scores very high on paper, and I don't recall it being poo-pooed.
Even after adjusting for its size, it scores better than 12 for equally
weighted in the 5 limit. In terms of "logflat badness", comparing it to
what you would expect for a tuning of its size, it not only looks good
on paper in the 5-limit, it looks OK in the 7 and 9 limits. That's
relatively speaking, of course, and so do 12 and 15. By comparison, on
paper 17 looks fairly rotten in the 5, 7, 9, 11 etc limits, and I think
listening bears that out.

Here is something from the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences,
showing the scale divisions which give increasingly large values for
the integral of the absolute value of the Riemann zeta function between
the two zeros associated to the division. A division on this list,
which starts 2, 5, 7, 12, 19, 31, 41, 53, 72, 130, 171, 224, 270,
should be considered quite exceptional. Note that 19 *is* on this short
list.

Here's a related list where it's a little easier to make the cut:

Hmmm ... found this quite to my taste - and no need
for this morsel to "repeat"!

But that it is a tiny morsel is obvious from the
surprisingly abrupt ending. We can thank Jon for
letting us savour it a little longer, whereas you,
Oz, would have us toss it down like a shot!

Hi Aaron,

I agree with you. Jonathan Glasier and Brink have recorded
hundreds of improvs in 19-edo, and i've been fortunate to
join them in a few ... and i wish i had time to join them
more often! I've discovered so many cool scales in 19-edo
that i'd like to explore more at home in my own compositions.
But there are so many tunings to play with ...

Oh come on, it was as long as it takes one to gobble up a Turkish delight.

Thanks for the compliments!
