The idea of dividing the octave into 22 steps of equal size seems to have originated with nineteenth century music theorist {{w|Robert Holford Macdowall Bosanquet|R. H. M. Bosanquet}}. Inspired by the supposed division of the octave into 22 unequal parts in the [[Indian music|music theory of India]], Bosanquet noted that such an equal division was capable of representing 5-limit music with tolerable accuracy. In this he was followed in the twentieth century by theorist José Würschmidt, who noted it as a possible next step after [[19edo]], and {{w|James Murray Barbour|J. Murray Barbour}} in his classic survey of tuning history, ''Tuning and Temperament''. | The idea of dividing the octave into 22 steps of equal size seems to have originated with nineteenth century music theorist {{w|Robert Holford Macdowall Bosanquet|R.

Although it does not allow for much in the way of modulation, it is possible to make some music using a piano tuned to a 12 note subset of 22edo, as shown by [[Juhani Nuorvala]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raRiTvogBBA ''Improvisations on a piano tuned to 22edo''] (2026). | Although it does not allow for much in the way of modulation, it is possible to make some music using a piano tuned to a 12 note subset of 22edo, as shown by [[Juhani Nuorvala]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raRiTvogBBA ''Improvisations on a piano tuned to 22edo''] (2026). | ||
