15edo/Unque's compositional approach: Difference between revisions

Line 597:

Because the step size in 15edo is significantly smaller than the typical semitone, leading tones are tenser than in common-practice music. The Bayati second can be used as a useful element of voice leading, though it is not nearly as tense as the semitone. I consider voice leading to be the single most important element of 15edo harmony, because it provides a consistent sense of direction throughout melodies.

Finally, it is important to notice certain tense intervals that have a tendency to voice lead by contrary motion to certain other intervals. Specifically, the Major Tritone at has a tendency to resolve inward and become a Perfect Fourth, and the Minor Tritone has a tendency to resolve outwards and become a Perfect Fifth.

Finally, it is important to notice certain tense intervals that have a tendency to voice lead by contrary motion to certain other intervals. Specifically, the Major Tritone has a tendency to resolve inward and become a Perfect Fourth, and the Minor Tritone has a tendency to resolve outwards and become a Perfect Fifth.
