17 equal temperament

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Figure 1: 17-ET on the regular diatonic tuning continuum at P5=705.88 cents.[1]
1 step in 17-ET

In music, 17 equal temperament is the tempered scale derived by dividing the octave into 17 equal steps (equal frequency ratios). Each step represents a frequency ratio of 17√2, or 70.6 cents.

17-ET is the tuning of the regular diatonic tuning in which the tempered perfect fifth is equal to 705.88 cents, as shown in Figure 1 (look for the label "17-TET").

History and use

Alexander J. Ellis refers to a tuning of seventeen tones based on perfect fourths and fifths as the Arabic scale.[2] In the thirteenth century, Middle-Eastern musician Safi al-Din Urmawi developed a theoretical system of seventeen tones to describe Arabic and Persian music, although the tones were not equally spaced. This 17-tone system remained the primary theoretical system until the development of the quarter tone scale.[citation needed]

Notation

Notation of Easley Blackwood[3] for 17 equal temperament: intervals are notated similarly to those they approximate and enharmonic equivalents are distinct from those of 12 equal temperament (e.g., A♯/C♭).

Easley Blackwood Jr. created a notation system where sharps and flats raised/lowered 2 steps. This yields the chromatic scale:

C, D♭, C♯, D, E♭, D♯, E, F, G♭, F♯, G, A♭, G♯, A, B♭, A♯, B, C

Quarter tone sharps and flats can also be used, yielding the following chromatic scale:

C, C
half sharp/D♭, C♯/D
half flat, D, D
half sharp/E♭, D♯/E
half flat, E, F, F
half sharp/G♭, F♯/G
half flat, G, G
half sharp/A♭, G♯/A
half flat, A, A
half sharp/B♭, A♯/B
half flat, B, C

Interval size

Relation to 34-ET

17-ET is where every other step in the 34-ET scale is included, and the others are not accessible. Conversely 34-ET is a subdivision of 17-ET.
