Since some composers weren't happy with neopentatonicism, they decided to make their own style informed by Mozart, which was based on the Durmoll scale (what we call Kleeth), and a dicot-based harmonic system. Many neo-Baroque chorales and chorale collections were written using this system.

William Shanks viewed nationalism ~~(in anything, not just music)~~ as a catalyst for war, hence he decided to turn to the universal and mathematical world, hence New Pythagoreanism being almost anti-Romanticist. As a result, France and the greater Slavic world decided to adopt New Pythagoreanism, with Les Six and the Five becoming major international proponents.

William Shanks viewed nationalism as a catalyst for war, hence he decided to turn to the universal and mathematical world, hence New Pythagoreanism being almost anti-Romanticist. As a result, France and the greater Slavic world decided to adopt New Pythagoreanism, with Les Six and the Five (or the Mighty Handful) becoming major international proponents.

This attracted many Christian musicians and composers (Scott Mount was one of them). Mount wrote a Mass in 10edo, which was half-dicot-based and half-neopentatonicist, with a few small sections in the New Pythagorean style.

Many African traditions (not sure which ones) developed equipentatonic systems. We take the fact that the French liked 10edo (what they call ‘metric tuning’) so much so that they even promoted it inside their colonies. This initially had more success than expected, due to a common arrangement by [TBD balafon player] who proposed the idea of two parallel balafons covering the entire 10edo gamut. This somehow eventually spread to America during the African slave trade and developed a new type of music (still called jazz), but Earth#10 jazz is more adventurous in the fact that they would regard each note of 10edo as equally important and thus they would regard the chromatic gamut as the scale itself. Equally interesting was the use of the [0 3 6 8] chord in 10edo as the main ‘primary’ chord in Earth#10 jazz music (insert colian 10edo theory here)

==Sociopolitical structure of this world==

There is a Northwestern European Union consisting of the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom. Belgium did not gain independence from the Netherlands.

==Languages==

The most important language that is in Earth#10 that is not in Earth#12 is Kampfsprache, a Germanic language designed to unify the British and the Dutch peoples. It is essentially a "second Dutch", but due to its use, pure English and pure Dutch were rendered extinct at the beginning of the 21st century. Kampfsprache and French are the two official languages of the Northwestern European Union, and the former is also an official language in South Africa, Australia (called New Holland in-universe) and New Zealand.
