A rather strange emerging genre. Some curious composers, wishing to test the [[~~Ivor_Darreg~~|Darregian]] notion that each [[~~Equal_Temperaments|~~equal temperament]], to a certain extent, possesses a certain quality or mood to it, endeavor to compose entire series of pieces which sample the field, often sequentially. Easley Blackwood's rather neoclassical ''Microtonal Etudes'' (~~1980-1~~), in ~~EDO's~~ 13 through 24, was one of the first such surveys. [[McLaren|Brian McLaren]]'s idiosyncratic ''240 Piano Pieces'' from the 90's, with 5 pieces in each tuning from 5/oct to 53/oct (excepting 12!), might be the most extensive, so much that each set of 5 pieces might be thought of as a whole. [[~~Warren_Burt|~~Warren Burt]]'s ''39 Dissonant Etudes'' (~~1992-8~~) (5/oct to 43/oct) all use the same type of technique to generate "dissonance."
