BTW, please read something like "Musimathics", it'll be better than trying to learn music theory from Wikipedia.


I'm not learning it from wikipedia. I'm playing for 50+ years. Best resource is Jazz Piano Book by M.Levine. (I read lots of others, but... everything I learned, I learned from this one).


Okay, yeah. I bristled at your suggestion that I should go learn temperament from Wikipedia, when I was making an effort to not bring up temperament to keep my reply focused.

I thought you didn't understand harmony, you thought I didn't understand temperament, I was talking from a historical point of view, you were talking from a jazz point of view.

We might disagree on two kind of minor points:

* How this blog post should have been written

* I'm uncomfortable with describing fundamentals of music from a jazz point of view, because that seems to me to be putting the effect before the cause.
