Story behind the song
Piano piece in the style of romantic piano music of the 19th century, originally my contribution to the 2011 Untwelve competition. It uses the concept of neo-Riemannian transformations, i.e. creating chord progressions via slight chromatic pitch shifts on a given chord. This applies very naturally to 22edo, since its 7-limit major tetrad has the property to divide the octave into 7, 6, 5 and 4 steps (like in the classical 12-equal tuning the 12edo major triad does with 5, 4 and 3 steps), which means that starting with one interval of a given chord of this type and applying slight pitch shifts (quartertones often), there are unusually many ways that lead again to an interval of another chord of this form, offering rich possibilities for natural-sounding chord progressions, modulations and surprising harmonic turns.
