standard to one of the various temperaments popularised during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
Temperament type
Description
Equal Temperament
(Equal)
This temperament is the most popular tuning method, and divides the scale into twelve equal
semi-tones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage
of limitless modulation of the key. However, the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic
and no chord is in pure consonance.
Pure Temperament
(Pure Major/Pure Minor)
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths, is still popular in choral
music because of its perfect harmony. Any key modulation will result in dissonances.
Pythagorean Temperament
(Pythagorean)
This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is very
limited for use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines.
Meantone Temperament
(Meantone)
This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate
dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonances experienced with certain
fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament.
It produces chords that are more beautiful than those played with equal temperament.
Werckmeister Temperament
(Werckmeister)
Kirnberger Temperament
(Kirnberger)
These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with
few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as
accidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean
temperament.
It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original
characteristics.
CHECK
The key of the temperament and major/minor setting must be correctly matched.
