23edo is significant in that it is the last edo that has no [[5L 2s|diatonic]] perfect fifths and not even [[5edo]] or [[7edo]] fifths. It is also the last edo that fails to approximate the [[3/1|3rd]], [[5/1|5th]], [[7/1|7th]], and [[11/1|11th]] [[harmonic]]s within 20 cents, which makes it well-suited for musicians seeking to explore harmonic territory that is unusual even for the average microtonalist. Oddly, despite the fact that it fails to approximate these harmonics, it approximates the intervals between them ([[5/3]], [[7/3]], [[11/3]], [[7/5]], [[11/5]], [[11/7]]) and combinations of them ([[15/8]], [[21/16]], [[33/32]], [[35/32]], [[55/32]], [[77/64]]) very well. In this sense, it can be thought of as every other step of [[46edo]]. The lowest harmonics well-approximated by 23edo are [[9/1|9]], [[13/1|13]], [[15/1|15]], [[17/1|17]], [[21/1|21]], [[23/1|23]], [[31/1|31]], [[33/1|33]] and [[35/1|35]]. | |||
=== Mapping === | |||
As with [[9edo]], [[16edo]], and [[25edo]], one way to treat 23edo is as a tuning of the [[mavila]] temperament, tempering out the "comma" of [[135/128]] and equating three acute [[4/3]]'s with 5/1 (related to the Armodue system). This means mapping "[[3/2]]" to 13 degrees of 23, and results in a 7-note [[2L 5s|antidiatonic]] scale of 3–3–4–3–3–3–4 (in steps of 23edo), which extends to a 9-note [[7L 2s|superdiatonic]] scale (3–3–3–1–3–3–3–3–1). One can notate 23edo using the [[Armodue]] system, but just like notating 17edo with familiar diatonic notation, flats will be lower in pitch than enharmonic sharps, because in 23edo, the "Armodue 6th" is sharper than it is in 16edo, just like the diatonic 5th in 17edo is sharper than in 12edo. In other words, 2b is lower in pitch than 1#, just like how in 17edo Eb is lower than D#. | |||
However, one can also map 3/2 to 14 degrees of 23edo without significantly increasing the error, taking us to a [[7-limit]] temperament where two broad 3/2's equals 7/3, meaning 28/27 is tempered out, and six 4/3's octave-reduced equals 5/4, meaning 4096/3645 is tempered out. Both of these are very large commas, so this is not at all an accurate temperament, but it is related to [[13edo]] and [[18edo]] and produces [[mos scale]]s of 5 and 8 notes: 5–5–4–5–4 ([[3L 2s|antipentic]]) and 4–1–4–1–4–4–1–4 (the "quartertone" version of the [[Easley Blackwood Jr.|Blackwood]]/[[Paul Rapoport|Rapoport]]/[[Erv Wilson|Wilson]] 13edo "subminor" scale). Alternatively we can treat this temperament as a 2.9.21 subgroup, and instead of calling 9 degrees of 23edo a sub-"4/3", we can call it 21/16. Here three 21/16's gets us to 9/4, meaning 1029/1024 is tempered out. This allows us to treat a triad of 0–4–9 degrees of 23edo as an approximation to 16:18:21, and 0–5–9 as 1/(16:18:21); both of these triads are abundant in the 8-note mos scale. | |||
23edo has good approximations for [[5/3]], [[11/7]], 13 and 17, among many others, allowing it to represent the 2.5/3.11/7.13.17 [[just intonation subgroup]]. If to this subgroup is added the commas of no-19's [[23-limit]] [[46edo]], the larger no-19's 23-limit [[k*N subgroups|2*23 subgroup]] 2.9.15.21.33.13.17.23 is obtained. This is the largest subgroup on which 23 has the same tuning and commas as does no-19's 23-limit 46edo, and may be regarded as a basis for analyzing the harmony of 23edo so far, as approximations to just intervals goes. If one dares to take advantage of this harmony by using 23edo as a period, you get [[icositritonic]], a [[23rd-octave temperaments|23rd-octave temperament]], so that the harmony of 23edo is adequately explained by what harmonies you can achieve using only periods and zero generators. | 23edo has good approximations for [[5/3]], [[11/7]], 13 and 17, among many others, allowing it to represent the 2.5/3.11/7.13.17 [[just intonation subgroup]].

23edo is | === Subsets and supersets === | ||
23edo is the 9th [[prime edo]], following [[19edo]] and coming before [[29edo]], so it does not contain any nontrivial subset edos, though it contains [[23ed4]]. 46edo, which doubles it, considerably improves most of its approximations of lower harmonics. | |||
=== Miscellany === | |||
23edo was proposed by ethnomusicologist {{w|Erich von Hornbostel}} as the result of continuing a circle of "blown" fifths of ~678-cent fifths that (he argued) resulted from "overblowing" a bamboo pipe. | |||

23edo is not often taken seriously as a tuning except by those interested in extreme [[xenharmony]]. Its fifths are significantly flat, and is neighbors [[22edo]] and [[24edo]] generally get more attention. | |||
However, when using a slightly [[stretched tuning|stretched octave]] of around 1206 [[cents]], 23edo looks much better, and it approximates the [[perfect fifth]] (and various other [[interval]]s involving the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th [[harmonic]]s) to within 18 cents or so. If we can tolerate errors around this size in [[12edo]], we can probably tolerate them in stretched-23 as well. | |||
Stretched-23edo is one of the best tunings to use for exploring the [[antidiatonic]] scale since its fifth is more [[consonant]] and less "[[Wolf interval|wolfish]]" than fifths in other [[pelogic family]] temperaments. | |||
