Sarabande #2

This version is similar to yesterdays, except for the keys used and some additional variations on the held chords on the second beat of the measures.

I moved the F major and C major keys to become based on their respective Otonality. I did not use the 11:8 as the 4th degree of the scale, but rather the 21:16, which is closer to a normal 4:3. Likewise the 6th degree of the scale is not the 13:8, but rather the 27:16, which is closer to a 5:3, a sweet sounding just ratio for the 6th degree of a scale. In sum, for a major scale, the ratios for the keys of C & F are:

  • 1 C 1:1
  • 2 D 9:8
  • 3 E- 5:4
  • 4 F 21:16
  • 5 G 3:2
  • 6 A 27:16
  • 7 Bb 7:4
  • 8 B 15:8
  • 1 C 2:1
