Steven’s Reviews > How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony > Status Update

I love the idea of this book. The execution so far is another matter. The expositionis wildly non-linear and yet repetitive. The argument of the book is that equal temperament just doesn’t sound as good as some other temperaments and non-tempered tunings. This is a hard argument to make in a book where we can’t hear anything at all. So it’s a lot of arithmetic, sidebars, inexplicably, unfunny cartoons.
