John Chow Seymour Title Graphic

>> Pianist at MIDI keyboard with computer, 1m24s

Tuning with 18 even tones to the octave, one can find three whole-tone scales each one third of a whole step away from the others. Concerned that this would sound too recognizable, I tried to avoid whole-tone scale material in the Waltz, and instead showcased the unusual 1/3 tone modulations and tight chromatic gestures available with this tuning.
