A rudimentary .tonescape file of one of my favorite pieces,
composed when the brilliant Erich Korngold was 15 years old:

/tuning/files/pieces/korngold_sinfonietta-2-trio_1-6cmt_3-5-space.tonescape

Korngold: Sinfonietta (1915), 2nd movement (Scherzo) - Trio, tuned to
1/6-comma meantone, 31-tone, origin = F#

... Compare the sound of this to the Hollywood film scores
he wrote 20 years later.

Oops, my bad ... the correct date is 1912.

You can read about its history in its historical context here,
under the years 1912 and 1913:
