The piece has enough dynamic range, sense of harmonic movement, and interaction between melody lines to hold my interest, to not sound bland, but instead sound captivating.

==== A commentary on my experiences of using different tunings ===

The scales I've made my best music with are:

* 13edo (6-tone subset)

* 14edo (7-tone subset)

* Deutone[19] (5-tone subset for melody, approximated harmonic series segments for embellishment)

* 21edo (pelog-like 5-tone subset for melody, approximated harmonic series segments for embellishment)

* 22edo (Superpyth[6] - I know it's not a MOS - for melody, approximated harmonic series segments for embellishment)

* Lucite[23] aka well tempered 23edo (pelog-like 5-tone subset for melody, approximated harmonic series segments for embellishment)

* 27edo (this JI scale approximated into 27edo: 7/6, 4/3, 3/2, 9/5, 2/1, 13/6, 7/3, 8/3, 3/1, 17/5, 19/5, 4/1 (period))

* 33edo (Flattertone[7] for melody, approximated harmonic series segments for embellishment)

* 43edo (Han-Kumoi scale, a subset of Meantone[7], for melody, Meantone[19] for embellishment)

* 72edo (7-tone quasi-blues scales for melody, approximated harmonic series segments for embellishment)

Whether or not this was a fluke or there was something special about these scales, I'm not sure. Most of the music I make is for the XA Monthly Tunings group (because it motivates me to create for whatever reason), so most tunings I've tried so far, I've only spent a single month with. So when something turns out good, it's hard to tell if it's because the tuning has some characteristic that works for me, or if it's because I just had a good month.

But whatever the reason, it just so happens that those tracks I made that did turn out good, used these tunings.

So I guess in general for me, I like using 5- to 7-tone subsets of larger 10- to 45-tone tunings, roughly.
