Temperament: the idea that solved music's greatest riddle

Trama

Fin dai tempi degli antichi greci, si pensava che la creazione della musica fosse governata da certezze matematiche divine e immutabili. Ma col tempo gli scettici capirono che quelle regole limitavano le possibilità armoniche. Al centro della loro disputa c’è la questione di come dovrebbero essere selezionati i toni di una scala musicale.
