The 27 pages that link to Equal temperament, each with the reason it gives.

• PianoRelated: Piano tuning commonly uses this system to make all keys usable.

• Pitch (music)Related: It maps continuous pitch onto the standardized notes of much modern music.

• Music theoryCompared with: It illustrates how tuning choices shape the pitch assumptions behind a theory.

• Just intonationCompared with: Unlike just intonation, it slightly alters most intervals so transposition preserves the same pitch relationships.

• Musical tuningRelated: Its equal semitones make transposition practical while leaving most intervals slightly impure.

• Pythagorean tuningCompared with: It distributes the fifths’ mismatch rather than leaving one conspicuously impure interval.

• The Well-Tempered ClavierCompared with: The collection’s title does not establish that Bach required modern equal temperament.

• Whole-tone scaleRelated: In twelve-tone equal temperament, the scale’s six whole steps divide the octave evenly.

• Concert pitchRelated: It determines the pitch spacing around a concert-pitch reference in much modern music.

• DastgahCompared with: Dastgah performance can use pitch inflections that do not fit neatly into equal-tempered notes.

• Chromatic scaleNarrower topic: Its twelve-part octave is the usual modern basis for the chromatic scale.

• Auto-TuneRelated: Its notes provide a common reference grid for setting correction targets.

• OvertoneCompared with: Its compromises become audible when notes interact with overtone-based harmonic intervals.

• TritoneRelated: Twelve-tone equal temperament makes the tritone exactly half an octave.

• Major scaleRelated: It makes the major-scale interval pattern transposable without changing its semitone proportions.

• Minor scaleRelated: It makes transposed minor-scale patterns share the same interval sizes.

• Musical temperamentBroader topic: Its equal semitones distribute tuning discrepancies evenly across all keys.

• Musical noteRelated: It provides the standard pitch spacing for notes on many modern instruments.

• ClavichordRelated: Clavichord tuning choices shape which keys and intervals sound most usable.

• Consonance and dissonanceCompared with: It compromises exact simple ratios to make fixed-pitch instruments usable across keys.

• Ferruccio BusoniRelated: Busoni’s theories of expanded tonality questioned the limits imposed by conventional tuning and harmony.

• Pan fluteRelated: Modern pan flutes are often tuned to this system for compatibility with other instruments.

• Vincenzo GalileiRelated: The practical compromises of tuning temperaments sharpened his critique of purely mathematical accounts.

• Major and minorRelated: Its semitone structure underlies the familiar pitch patterns of modern major and minor scales.

• Byzantine musicCompared with: Modern equal temperament can obscure the intervallic nuances of Byzantine modal practice.

• Music and mathematicsBroader topic: Its geometric frequency spacing makes transposition between keys practical.

• Music of JapanCompared with: It contrasts with the flexible tunings and pitch practices found in some Japanese traditions.
