Kartvelian scales

Revision as of 05:50, 19 April 2023 by BudjarnLambeth (talk | contribs) (Merged all the individual pages into one central page, and split the scales into separate subheadings (e.g. instead of just calling both scales "Kartvelian triacontatonic", I split them into "18edf Kartvelian triacontatonic" and "17edf Kartvelian triacontatonic". Added to a few categories, including Gamelan because the original articles and the new article both mention two of the scales' similarity to slendro and pelog respectively.)

The Kartvelian scales generalize the traditional scale of Georgian folk music to divide the perfect fourth and fifth into arbitrary numbers of equal steps. This scale, called “untempered” on Wikipedia, is more properly described as the first known well temperament in music history. The fifth, or conversely the  fourth, will be an interval of the corresponding edo which may generate 2L 3s or 3L 2s and normally stands within one edo degree of 3/2.
