Within a Pythagorean tuning system, each scale can sound highly
distinctive, since the notes will not be distributed evenly across the
- octave. In a sense, 12-tone equal temperament "bends" all of the notes
- so they are evenly spaced. Fifths in equal temperament are all nearly
+ octave. In a sense, 12-tone equal temperament bends all of the notes
+ to make them evenly spaced. Fifths in equal temperament are all nearly
pure, making it easy to modulate between keys. By comparison, thirds
are quite out of tune compared to a pure ratio (5:4). Equal
temperament invokes irrational numbers, creating in-between intervals
