Understanding Temperaments
... The need for temperament arises because it is impossible to have octaves, fifths, thirds, etc., all pure at once, or, in other words, because the ratios of the different pure intervals are incompatible. Two important examples will demonstrate this. Suppose we start on C and tune up 12 pure fifth: we ...
