Augmented triad: Difference between revisions

Saying meantone is a good tuning of marvel is a stretch. Explicitly link to marvel chords.

de-emphasize marvel and emphasize septimal meantone in the temperaments section, to make the connection with common-practice tunings clearer

In [[marvel|marvel temperament]], the ~25/16 augmented fifth is tempered together with ~[[14/9]] (tempering out the difference of [[225/224|224/225]]). The resulting intervals are ~5/4, ~5/4, and ~14/9, making the augmented triad a [[9-odd-limit]] essentially tempered chord (→ [[Marvel chords]]).  
If [[225/224]] is tempered out, as in [[marvel]] and [[septimal meantone]], the ~25/16 augmented fifth is tempered together with ~[[14/9]]. The resulting intervals are ~5/4, ~5/4, and ~14/9, making the augmented triad a [[9-odd-limit]] essentially tempered chord (→ [[Marvel chords]]).

Since [[12edo]] is a good tuning of augmented temperament and supports marvel, and the historically prevalent [[quarter-comma meantone]] also supports marvel, either or both of these essentially-tempered interpretations may be relevant for augmented chords found in common-practice and contemporary music.
