| Meantone temperament is a musical temperament, that is a tuning system, obtained by slightly compromising the fifths in order to improve the thirds. Meantone temperaments are constructed the same way as Pythagorean tuning, as a stack of equal fifths, but in meantone each fifth is narrow compared to the perfect fifth of ratio 3:2.* Equal temperament, obtained by making all semitones the same size, each equal to one-twelfth of an octave (with ratio the 12th root of 2 to one (12√2:1), narrows the fifths by about 2 cents or 1/12 of a Pythagorean comma, and produces thirds that are only slightly better than in Pythagorean tuning. Equal temperament is roughly the same as 1/11 comma meantone tuning. * Quarter-comma meantone, which tempers the fifths by 1/4 comma, is the best known type of meantone temperament, and the term meantone temperament is often used to refer to it specifically. Four ascending fifths (as C–G–D–A–E) tempered by 1/4 comma produce a perfect major third (C–E), one syntonic comma narrower than the Pythagorean third that would result from four perfect fifths. Quarter-comma meantone has been practiced from the early 16th century to the end of the 19th. * In third-comma meantone, the fifths are tempered by 1/3 comma, and three descending fifths (such as A–D–G–C) produce a perfect minor third (A–C) one syntonic comma wider than the Pythagorean one that would result from three perfect fifths. Third-comma meantone can be approximated by a division of the octave in 19 equal steps. |
