In music, **19 equal temperament**, called 19-TET, 19-EDO, or 19-ET, is the scale derived by dividing the octave into 19 equally large steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of the 19th root of 2, or 63.16 cents. | |||
Interest in this tuning system goes back to the sixteenth century, when composer Guillaume Costeley used it in his chanson //Seigneur Dieu ta pitié// of 1558. Costeley understood and desired the circulating aspect of this tuning; in 1577 music theorist Francisco de Salinas in effect proposed it. Salinas discussed 1/3-comma meantone, in which the fifth is of size 694.786 cents; the fifth of 19-et is 694.737, which is only a twentieth of a cent flatter. Salinas suggested tuning nineteen tones to the octave to this tuning, which fails to close by less than a cent, so that his suggestion is effectively 19-et. In the nineteenth century mathematician and music theorist Wesley Woolhouse proposed it as a more practical alternative to meantone tunings he regarded as better, such as [[50edo|50 equal temperament]] ([[http://sonic-arts.org/monzo/woolhouse/essay.htm|summary of Woolhouse's essay]]). | Interest in this tuning system goes back to the sixteenth century, when composer Guillaume Costeley used it in his chanson //Seigneur Dieu ta pitié// of 1558.

The most salient characteristic of 19-et is that, having an almost just minor third and perfect fifths and major thirds about seven cents narrow, it serves as a good tuning for <a class="wiki_link" href="/Regular%20Temperaments#meantone">meantone</a> temperament. It is also a suitable for <a class="wiki_link" href="/Regular%20Temperaments#magic">magic</a> temperament, because five of its major thirds are equivalent to one of its <em>twelfths</em>.<br /> | The most salient characteristic of 19-et is that, having an almost just minor third and perfect fifths and major thirds about seven cents narrow, it serves as a good tuning for <a class="wiki_link" href="/Regular%20Temperaments#meantone">meantone</a> temperament.

However, for all of these 19-et has the practical advantage of requiring fewer pitches, which makes physical realizations of it easier to build. (Many 19-et instruments have been built.) 19-et is in fact the second equal temperament, after 12-et which is able to deal with 5-limit music in a tolerable manner. It is less successful with 7-limit (but still better than 12-et), as it eliminates the distinction between a septimal minor third(7/6), and a septimal whole tone (8/7).<br /> | However, for all of these 19-et has the practical advantage of requiring fewer pitches, which makes physical realizations of it easier to build.
